D# E
all this pain inside’s still just too sharp .

A

D#m
and into this dark!

it’s warm and it’s breathing ,
E
and it’s our season .

they crossed his wires completely
E D#m C#m
when they made him fire that gun .

B D#m F# E

that it was our season .
it’s hard to believe it .
there isn’t a reason .
it’s only a feeling . . .
when i look back on it now , remember how
mixed up i got before they got me sorted out . . .
all that heart – in – my – mouth ,
all that head filled with doubt ,
it’s fading out .
i hardly think about it now .

and watch while i’m leaving ,
E
and the cold will just creep in .
