[Verse]
Em
It kills me not to know this
G
but I've all but just forgotten
C
What the color of her eyes were
G D
and her scars or how she got them
Em
As the telling signs of age rain down
G
a single tear is dropping
C
Through the valleys of an aging face
G D
that this world has forgotten
[Interlude]
Em G C G D 2x
[Verse]
Em G
There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
C
And there is no time like the present
G D
to drink these draining seconds
Em
But seldom do these words ring true
G
when I'm constantly failing you
C
Like walls that we just can't break through
G D
until we disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
C
So tell me now
D C
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
D~
cause' I don't know
[Chorus]
Em
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
G
I just want to save you
C G
while there's still something left to save
D Em
That's when I told her I love you girl
G
But I'm not the answer
C
for the questions that you still have
G D
Whoa whoa
[Interlude]
Em G C G D
[Verse]
Em
But the day pressed on like crushing weights
G
For no man does it ever wait
C
Like memories of dying days
G D
That deafen us like hurricanes
Em
Bathed in flames we held the brand
G
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
C
Pressed into the flesh like sand
G D
Now do you understand?
[Pre-Chorus]
C
So tell me now
D C
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
D~
cause' I don't know
[Chorus]

Em G
[Verse]
Em G
1000 miles away
C
There's nothing left to say
G D
But so much left that I don't know
Em G
We never had a choice
C
This world is too much noise
G
It takes me under
D Em~
It takes me under once again
[Interlude]
