Verse 1:
Cm           Eb                 Ab
While he was asleep holding her hand
           G
The dreams smouldered
Cm             Eb                Ab
She opened her heart, he tore it apart
               G
Gazed into his smile

C              Eb
He said he had constraint
Ab                  G
Was ostracised and feint
C                     Eb
She had gone over and under
Ab            G
A tattoo of a loser

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Cm                            Eb
These are the rings that fell apart
Ab                                 G
These are the things that tore his heart
Cm                                Em
These were the dreams that he was causing
Ab                                 G
These were the gleams that she was pausing


Chorus:
C             Eb  Ab
We're nothing but debris
         G
Floating on a silver lake
C               Eb      Ab
There's nothing left to take
        G
As we slowly fall apart
C        Eb          Ab
We unite you through me
         G
As we separate with fate
C             Eb    Ab   G
We're nothing but debris


Verse 2:
Cm           Eb               Ab
Her words confound, dim and unsound
             G
Daring the logic
Cm           Eb              Ab
Defying off-hand, nothing unplanned
                 G
Phase into the vile

C            Eb
Let me speak again,
Ab                           G
pursue the praise - not too soon
C             Eb
In two yields construed
   Ab         G
by me and you
C                     Eb
Tracing the cause and case
Ab               G
As we stand here face to face

Cm                        Eb
Simple twofoldness is our brace
     Ab                         G
That makes it feel like you and me


Break:
Cm                        Em
Opportunity isn't what we lost
         Ab             G
We have lost our senses


Chorus:
C             Eb    Ab
We're nothing but debris
         G
Floating on a silver lake
C                Eb      Ab
There's nothing left to take
        G
As we slowly fall apart
C        Eb          Ab
We unite you through me
         G
As we separate with fate
C             Eb    Ab   G
We're nothing but debris

Cm            Eb            Ab
Walk with me now to another place
               G            Cm
Where no one else has been before
