A Letter For Zach Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em]
[C]
I [G]still remember

[Verse 1]
the hotel room where I sat.
[C]Fleeing the hand [G]that gripped you.
[Em]I gave you words[C],they were
inadequate.
Couldn't admit that I abandoned you.
My fear grew, ever stronger.
My delu[G]sion cast about me,
a blanket to my conscious [C]mind.
And my [G]paradise [C]lies in blankets
and smoke.

[Verse 2]
Remember when we were all [C]smiles,
blind to reality.
I sat with eyes closed [G]for awhile.
As if days don't turn to months.
Except, I forgot it ends like this.
[C]Blue veins,
cracked upon a pale surface.
Did you smile one last time,
as you closed your eyes?

[Verse 3]
[G]Because, I don't want to close
my eyes anymore.
I want to be whole again,
how the fuck do I get there?
I've lost what it means [C]to
be a person.
Haven't been reading enough
to know the right words,
So I keep mine to myself.
Just thought I'd [G]take this chance.
Say I'm sorry.

[Verse 4]
So one [G]more cigarette,
one more breath in between,
One more drink,
One [C]more hit.
Hopefully take the breath out of me.
Counting seconds to minutes
as you slip away.

[Verse 5]
You were going to be [G]someone.
We all I knew I, was supposed
to be the one.
Found on a cold tile floor.
The vibrance of your be[C]ing seemed so foreign,
as you lay there.

[Verse 6]
I still keep the [C]card Scott
gave in my pocket s
O I [G]never leave your side again.
Each day, find myself asking what
would have been if I was there?
Again.
[C]I should never have been there
in the first place.
