Intro: Am F* G F*
Am F*
Waking up is harder than it seems
G F*
Wandering through these empty rooms of dusty books and quiet dreams.
Am F*
Pictures on the mantle, speak your name.
G F*
Softly like forgotten tunes, just outside the sound of pain.
Am C
Weren't we like a pair of thieves, with tumbled locks and broken codes.
Dm E7
You can not take that from me, my small reprieves, your heart of gold.
Am C
Weren't we like a battlefield, locked inside a holy war.
Dm E7
You’re lovin’ my due diligence - the only thing worth fighting for.
Am F* G F*
Am F*
Change will come to those who have no fear
G F*
But I'm not her, you never were the kind who kept a rulebook near.
Am F*
What I said was never what I meant.
G F*
And now you’ve seen my world in flames, my shadow songs, my deep regret.
Am C
Weren't we like a pair of thieves, with tumbled locks and broken codes.
Dm E7
You can not take that from me, my small reprieves, your heart of gold.
Am C
Weren't we like a battlefield, locked inside a holy war.
Dm E7
You’re lovin’ my due diligence - the only thing worth fighting for.
E7
The only thing worth fighting for.
Outro: Am F* G F*
