F#m Fm
fight these eyes
F#m Fm ( break )
they’re drawing you , inside .

verse 1 :
F#m
sign the name in marker ,
D
watch the clouds as they got darker .
E D E ( Fm )
felt it start to slip away .
F#m
all the schemes were made and plotted ,
A
all the rules have been forgotten now .
E D E
i made it by the skin of my teeth again this time .

refrain :
F#m A
i’m waiting , still waiting ,
D
to get away and make a change ,
A E/G#m
seasons last forever in this phase .

chorus :
F#m ( break ) D
forget your heart .
A
it’s weighing you down inside ,
E
as you confide your life to someone else .
E – Fm – F#m D
maybe we’re scared to be alone ,
A
we’re not prepared to throw the stones ,
E D
and watch them drift out of our control .

verse 2 :
F#m
i braced my body for the
D
sudden impact that was more than i
E D E ( Fm )
ever thought that it would be .
F#m
and when it knocked me over ,
A E
i’ve never felt more stiff than sober now .
D E/Fm
i’m struggling to get up and run away .

refrain 2 :
F#m A
i’ve wasted , i’ve wasted
D
my life away . i’ve gotta change ,
A E/G#m
i’ve gotta burn the book and turn the page .

chorus :
F#m ( break ) D
forget your heart .
A
it’s weighing you down inside ,
E
as you confide your life to someone else .
E – Fm – F#m D
maybe we’re scared to be alone ,
A
we’re not prepared to throw the stones ,
E D
and watch them drift out of our control .

post – chorus :
D
there’s no return ,
E F#m
to what you had when you started ,
A Bm
before you lost control .
D
you will never recover .
