INTRO (3x)
A minorAm
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Cmaj7dim/A

VERSE 1
A minorAm
Nameless as the way we started
Cmaj7Cmaj7
I'd like to go
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Back to time before name
         Cmaj7dim/A
Name for all we know

A minorAm
When the room was filled with chances
Cmaj7Cmaj7
No one would take
Gmaj7Gmaj7
We collided with them
        Cmaj7dim/A
Knowing chances fade


CHORUS
A minorAm
Proving that to keep from hiding
Cmaj7Cmaj7                    Gadd6     Cmaj7Cmaj7   Gmaj7Gmaj7
Means you must play on a nerve
Gmaj7Gmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 Gmaj7Gmaj7    Gadd6     C majorC        D MajorD
Under            the weight of skin and bone
       Gadd6    Cmaj7Cmaj7  Gmaj7Gmaj7  Gadd6        Cmaj7Cmaj7  Gmaj7Gmaj7
Dotted lines                divide
    Gadd6    C majorC         D MajorD
The shape of things to come

VERSE 2
A minorAm
Giving up anticipation
Cmaj7Cmaj7
For certainty
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Wasn't nearly as good
      Cmaj7dim/A
As we hoped it'd be

A minorAm
Pulling back the sheets and covers
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Only to find
    Gmaj7Gmaj7
The freight and baggage that grows
       Cmaj7dim/A
On the family tree


CHORUS
   A minorAm
If loving only comes with effort
Cmaj7Cmaj7                  Gadd6     Cmaj7Cmaj7   Gmaj7Gmaj7
Could we still be on a nerve
Gmaj7Gmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 Gmaj7Gmaj7    Gadd6     C majorC        D MajorD
Under            the weight of skin and bone
       Gadd6    Cmaj7Cmaj7  Gmaj7Gmaj7  Gadd6        Cmaj7Cmaj7  Gmaj7Gmaj7
Dotted lines                divide
    Gadd6    C majorC         D MajorD
The shape of things to come

INTERLUDE (verse chords)
A minorAm
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Cmaj7dim/A


VERSE 3
A minorAm
Feeling on the edge of being
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Taken aback
Gmaj7Gmaj7
By the damage we did
         Cmaj7dim/A
With the sense we lack

A minorAm
Thieving over intonation
Cmaj7Cmaj7               Gmaj7Gmaj7     Cmaj7Cmaj7   Gmaj7Gmaj7

Tuning at last on a nerve
Gmaj7Gmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 Gmaj7Gmaj7    Gadd6     C majorC        D MajorD
Under            the weight of skin and bone
       Gadd6    Cmaj7Cmaj7  Gmaj7Gmaj7  Gadd6        Cmaj7Cmaj7  Gmaj7Gmaj7
Dotted lines                divide
    Gadd6    C majorC         D MajorD
The shape of things to come
