(Finger Picked)

Intro Instrumental:

C  Dm  Am  C  Dm  Am

Verse 1:

C           Dm                Am
you used to light up like a spark
           C              Dm            Am G
now you’re blue, treading water in the dark
C              Dm          Am
calm like the company of strangers in an elevator
C           Dm             Am  G
hoping the doors will open soon


Chorus 1:
  (G)             Am                 G
but that’s just you when you are blue
          Am          C
You can give me your pain
Am             G
I’ll bear it faithfully
Am                C
I’ll give you my name
Am               G
and let you get close to me
Am          C
so don’t be ashamed
Am         G
love is supposed to be
Am              C
the thing that remains
     Am                 G        Am      C Am  G
but everything changes when you bleed blue

Verse 2:

C         Dm              Am
I used to scale your city walls
             C           Dm              Am           G
I looked away, and you built them far too tall
C            Dm                Am
numb like a world war veteran coming home to greet his family
 C           Dm             Am      G
hoping they never find the truth

Chorus 2:

(G)                         Am      G
but thats just you when you are blue but you can?
             Am           C
I wish you'd give me your pain
Am             G
I’ll bear it faithfully
Am                C
I’ll give you my name
Am               G
and let you get close to me
Am          C
so don’t be ashamed
Am         G
love is supposed to be
Am              C
the thing that remains
     Am                 G        Am      C Am  G
but everything changes when you bleed blue
