E G#/C
these hospital walls

are the palest of white
C#m E
here in this desert

through my blood

poisoned tonight

E
when half of all your
G#m
prayers are insincere
A B A
the other half are lies
E G#/C
here is this watermark
A
under this bridge
C#m
the point where
E
it all crested
rolled back and
B A
drifted into the sea
B
i climb from this wreckage
E
as the smoke begins
G#/C
to clear from my lungs
A B
the closest of close calls
C#m
has happened tonight
it’s time that i
E
made things right
B
for the first time
A B
since the last time
C#m E
let this moment of clarity
B
lift this curse that
A A
has been cast upon me

so appreciate

the good times

worst for granted

cause you only get so

many second chances
