Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
E
E F#
G#m F# E F# (x2)

Verse 1:
G#m        B
A sinking ship, an awkward kiss,
 E          F#
A chance to set things straight.
  G#m        B
The kind of hurt that burns and burns,
E       F#
Like fires we can't contain.

Verse 2:
  G#m     B        E         F#
We hole up in a shelter made of bones and ice and there we'll wait,
  G#m     B
To start again with steady hands,
E      F#        C#m
This time nothing gets in our way,
     E             F#
But as we peer a little closer what do we see?


Chorus:
C#m        G#m
  A crack in the surface,
F#        E               B       F#
  A flaw in the plan
        (Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand)
         G#m
  A cadence imperfect
F#          E                    B        C#m
  Like a building condemned
           (Can we indemnify ourselves if we don't face what we're against?)

Intro Riff:
E
E F#

Verse 3:
G#m        B
A promise kept, the dirt unswept,
 E       F#
A poorly worn disguise.
G#m         B
A child unloved that then grows up,
E      F#
To love what we despise.

Verse 4:
   G#m       B         E         F#
We're broken but still breathing, we are wounded but we are healing.
  G#m          B
We pick up right where we left off,
E      F#      C#m
Breathe on the ashes that remain,
       E                  F#
So that these coals may become fire, to guide our way.


Chorus:
C#m        G#m
  A crack in the surface,
F#        E               B       F#
  A flaw in the plan
        (Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand)
         G#m
  A cadence imperfect
F#          E                    B        C#m    E
  Like a building condemned
           (Can we indemnify ourselves if we don't face what we're against?)


Interlude:
G#m             E
I walk on wounds that seldom prove to slow me down,
G#m             E
I laugh this constant pain away, so you can't tell,
F#
But there it lies under the smiles,
E
It drains me mile after mile,
F#             E
But seldom proves to slow me down,
G#m   F# E
Here I go,
G#m   F# E
Here I go,
G#m   F# E
Here I go.

        F#   E
Should we just hold on,
     F#   E
To what remains of,
     F#     E
What we thought was lost.

Chorus:
E         G#m
  A crack in the surface,
F#        E               B       F#
  A flaw in the plan
        (Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand)
         G#m
  A cadence imperfect
F#          E                    B        F#
  Like a building condemned
           (Can we indemnify ourselves if we don't face what we're against?)
                                                G#m
                                        A crack in the surface,
F#        E
  A crack in the surface.
