Interlude:
C#m A E C#m A E B/Eb x2

Verse 1:
You found a way inside my
head and left me hanging
by a thread Gutted out
replaying every line you
said And thinking why
can’t I just forget it
and why can’t I live
without you. I wish I
held my ground or I
could just go back
And disappear from you

Chorus 1:
I let you in you
stole a piece of me
And now I can’t take
I can’t take it
I can’t take it
it back from you
again You carved my
body from the inside
out Never hesitated
hesitated Left me
on the boulevard
here to bleed[B/Eb]

Verse 2:
Your eyes had
pureness cutting
through They had me
breaking my own rules
assuring me it’s okay
This is different you
know we’re different
I’m such a mess I’ve
tried and tried to
unlearn your spell
Uncross the line
maintain my confidence
outside But this pain
it won’t escape me

Chorus 2:
I let you in you
stole a piece of me
And now I can’t take
I can’t take it
I can’t take it
it back from you
again You carved my
body from the inside
out Never hesitated
hesitated Left me
on the boulevard
here to bleed

Bass Solo: C#m A x4

Bridge:
A city drenching me
in sin Below these
buildings I’m still
sinking As I swim
in my continual
condition I’m
off the beaten
path smashing
every light I pass
I’m so far away
and the darkness
makes me need you

Chorus 2:
I let you in you
stole a piece of me
And now I can’t take
I can’t take it
I can’t take it
it back from you
again You carved my
body from the inside
out Never hesitated
hesitated Left me
on the boulevard
C#m A E C#m A E B/Eb C#m(hold)
here to bleed

So when I’m standing on this street like I have a hundred times,
You don’t even glance at me you just pass me by.

I remember your face, from the moment I first saw you I never looked away.
I’ll never forget how you looked that Saturday when you told me
We could never be together, and I could never change.

Mother, Mother is it you who’s calling?
Lights out, lay down,
We’ll sleep when we’re dead, that time is now.
But soft speak will drown out
How I can’t do what’s right around you.
Cold breeze, no coat,
Excuses used to take words from my throat.
False hope confirmed.
Deceits a language I can’t hope to learn.

So when I’m standing on this street like I have a hundred times,
We will celebrate the years you stalled and couldn’t decide.

I remember your face, from the moment I first saw you I never looked away.
I’ll never forget how you looked that Saturday when you told me
We could never be together, and I could never change.

I used to believe that every person had a purpose
In this swirling ball of indecision that consumes us all.
I used to believe that every person had a person
They could always count on and not be scared of, one for everyone.

So when I’m standing on this street like I have a hundred times,
Can I walk away and finally leave, finally leave all of this behind?

I remember your face, from the moment I first saw you I never looked away.
I’ll never forget how you looked that Saturday when you told me
We could never be together, and I could never change.

I remember your face, from the moment I first saw you I never looked away.
I’ll never forget how you looked that Saturday when you told me
C#~ B~ A~
We could never be together, and I could never change.
