[Verse 1]
Bm G A G
The hardest single time that we fell upon
Bm G A G
overcame us like a god.
Bm G A G
Tonight, I will not try to harden truth with reasons,
Bm G A
but I turn the pieces over like I need them,
D A G A
and maybe in some way I do.

[Verse 2]
Bm G A G
I dare not now return for the roar of memories,
Bm G A G
or to see how slight a trace we left of our lives.
Bm G A G
In another time, in another place,
Bm G A
you are standing there, above me,
D A G
my head in your hands,
A
and you know.

Bm G/D
Bm G/D

[Chorus]
Em F#m A A6 (add F# on high E string)
You live in everything I love
Em F#m A A6
and everything I’ll never be.
Em F#m A A6
You’re traced in everything I touch.
Em F#m Bb
You are the rhythm of my days
C F#m G
and the spaces in between.

Bm G/D x3

[Verse 3]
Bm G A G
The darkness I defined has not forgotten me,
Bm G A G
but ever presses closer the bounds of my reach.
Bm G A G
Tonight, I will not try to harden truth with reasons –
Bm G
a silence says it all;
A D A G A
it comes to remind me who I am.

[Outro]
Bm G
