Intro: D#m F# B F# D#m F# B F# Verse: D#m Have you read the script? F# B F# Could you picture it? B F# ... is it worth the risk? D#m F# Everything I love B F# Is on the line B F# On these neon signs
Pre-Chorus: D#m F# But I need to know- when you looked away B F# B F# Was it something that I said? Was it something that I said? D#m F# B F# Well okay, okay, I need you more than I did before B F# Now that the concrete is nearly set Chorus: D#m F# B F# Here in the second act I'm living in repair D#m F# B F# Strange how the heart adapts when its pieces disappear D#m F# B F# And there, on page 28, I'm so tired of drying glue D#m F# B F# I begin my grand attempt at building something new Verse: D#m F# Though I tend to write B F# B F# The epiphany more immediately D#m F# I guess I'm trusting that there's such a thing B F# B F# As elegance in dissonance Pre-Chorus: D#m F# God, I'm skeptical of pulling scenes B F# B F# Was it something that I said? was it something that I did? D#m F# B F# Please don't get me wrong - I still need your help B F# As history repeats itself Chorus: D#m F# B F# Here in the aftermath, I'm pulling at the seams D#m F# B F# Strange how the heart adapts in the absence of routine D#m F# B F# And there, on page 29, I find "new" and make it mine D#m F# B F# But I can't help casting shadows on all I leave behind Bridge: G#m D#m Maybe I could afford to change a bit... F# Even let go of the reigns? G#m D#m Every torn out page was worth the risk A#m C# Now that the stakes have been raised Chorus: D#m F# B F# So here in the final draft, I've given all I have D#m F# B F# Strange how the heart expands in the absence of a plan D#m F# B F# There's nothing left on the page, but I'm okay with that D#m F# For I found my resolution B F# Was designed for stronger hands
