Verse 1

              G+G    C majorC   G+G
Scent dripping down from our feet,
          C majorC
Right beneath the piers where we were first to meet.
    D MajorD
And I caught you once, but you let me down twice.
  C majorC
I don't know how.

        G+G
There was a place we would all go to sing.
    D MajorD
We'd gather 'round the old town church
  D MajorD
To hear those bells ring.
      C majorC
I'll never forget those days --
             G+G
When I was worthy of your love.

C, G, C, G, C, G+G

CHORUS

         C majorC      G+G
And I promise I won't make a sound
          C majorC          G+G
'Cause I figure you no longer want me around.
           G+G     D MajorD
And I know that the days will pass
   E minor 7Em7      D MajorD       C majorC
And soon, we'll be rid of these things.
    D MajorD
So let soft words be spoken.

VERSE 2

            G+G   C majorC   G+G
Crows flying out with old wings.
           C majorC
Bitter breath with lungs that barely had the strength to sing.
    D MajorD
And I fought you once, but you let me win twice,
      C majorC
I don't know why.

         G+G
And there's a chapter that I keep on trying to read.
      D MajorD
But the pages stick and crumble where your fingers used to be.
       C majorC
I'll never forget your hands,
                 G+G   C majorC   G+G
'Cause they were always pushing me.

CHORUS

         C majorC      G+G
And I promise I won't make a sound
          C majorC          G+G
'Cause I figure you no longer want me around.
           G+G     D MajorD
And I know that the days will pass
   E minor 7Em7      D MajorD       C majorC
And soon, we'll be rid of these things.
    D MajorD
So let brave words be spoken.

BRIDGE
        C majorC   G+G   D MajorD   E minorEm
But just let us grow.
 C majorC           G+G
Patience was lost in the sea.
      C majorC   G+G   D MajorD   E minorEm
Just don't go.
   D MajorD
And though this darkness will come,
   G+G
And my heart is in stormy weather,
    C majorC
And the pain is all I have for now,
     D MajorD
And I'm homebound
