Verse 1:
C     Dm                   Am
      Once I was alive and I could feel
C           Dm                 Am
      I was holding on to you
G        C             F     C         Dm   C         G
   And I redefined the way I looked at dawn inside of you

G

C       Dm                      Am
      I went down a crooked highway
C            Dm                   Am
      I went all outside the line
G           C         F       C         Dm         C          G
  I've been rejected, now the light has turned and I'm out of time

Chorus 1:
         F
Ain't no way I'm gonna last

              Am             Em            G
Hiding in the seams, I can't move the past

          F
Feel like I'm about to crash
             Am         Em            G
Riding on on line, keep keeping on


Verse 2:
C     Dm                     Am
      Once we were apart and I could see red
C     Dm                             Am
      Never trying to turn back time
G      C                 F    C      Dm        C         G
 Never meant to bring my pain to the front and into your life

G

C     Dm                    Am
      Now I'm headed down a different road
C            Dm                    Am
      Can we walk it side by side?
      G       C  F    C       Dm     C      G
Is an old memory just another way of saying goodbye?

G

Chorus 2:
         F
Ain't no way I'm gonna last

              Am             Em            G
Hiding in the seams, I can't move the past

          F
Feel like I'm about to crash

Riding on same line, keep keeping on

Bridge:

        F
I ain't never going to change
                        Am
He'll never get in line
       Em
I keep moving on the path, yeah
G
Holding on to mine

         F
When you talk about the past

What are we talking of?
      Em
Did I let go too fast?

Was I holding on too long?

         F
Ain't no truths from the past

As silent as the sea
     Em
Am I holding on too long?

But you're right in front of me

        F
And I'm moving on a cast
              Am
Shadows on my seam
       Em                 G
I keep moving to changes, yeah
G
Ooh
