[Verse 1]
[G]Whe[D]n[G][D][G]
she saw the end plates
I started to [Baug]panic
While performing for [C]passengers
Clamoring for the [D]static
Riveting but not [Em]riveted
And harder to [Baug]pin down
[Em]Than her mother's half [Am]-baked recipe
For a night on [D]the town
Bleeding [G]smaller
Than [F]early autumn [C]leaves deafene
[B]d b[Baug]y the forest,[B]
and [Em]sickened by the [Baug]trees
[C]of your insip[D]id inspira[G]tion
in[C]famous ver[D]b -cursive re[G]bounds
insidi[C]ous and [D]ob vious, [G]un glamorous
[Em]God, it's [C]great to have [D]you back in [G]town
I hear you say that the
heat was un[Baug]bearable
[Eb]Guess [Baug]I should've no tic[C]ed
You're more than just
a little uncomfort[D]able
But I never said I [Em]love you
Or even that I [Baug]missed you
I never once [Am]said I just wanted to kiss [D]you
Love in ac[G]tion, [F]lacking in de[C]tail
Po[B]etic in its remission,
[Em]forever for [Baug]sale
[C]To the ab[D]solute [G]beginner
[C]Well ain't tomorrow [D]from the past
[G]Was [C]this your ver[D]y,
very first [G]time, my dear?
[Em]Cause I'm [Am]afraid
[D]It'll be the [G]last
Did she dream the accident
Or was it really [Baug]real
The shattering [C]glass
And the grinding [D]of steel
Caught in the head[Em]lights
Hiding [Baug]behind the absurd
Grew the happi[Am]ness
and the laughter of the [D]word
But the hum was [G]thicker
than [F]lovers in re[C]treat
An[B]d the cries were wider
than [Em]the passing of dise[Baug]ase
[C]There's still [D]echoes in the [G]canyon
Trick[C]ling out [D]over the pas[G]t
[C]Through [D]the poorest explana[G]tion
Ex[Em]cept [C]this one [D]was meant to [G]last
The cap to the potion
had no longer [Baug]sealed
Swimming in the [C]shadows,
would her pain be [D]re vealed?
Still [Baug]the warmth was [Em]soothing,
harder to [Baug]deny
Just like the [Am]glaciers that
freeze every
The emotion and tear that [D]you cried
Burning [G]closer
Than the [F]flowers in full [C]bloom
[B]The sadness of knowing
what's in store [Em]for you too [Baug]soon
[C]In the sof[D]test of situati[G]ons
[C]The hardest [D]weakness to con[G]ceal
[C]The most pleasur[D]able indecision
[G]Lac[Em]k of anyt[C]hing left to[D] feel[G]
Love made by fire or frozen from re[Eb]gret
Every [Baug]particle of [C]hope and faith
fused motionless from neg[D]lect
Hard -won battles for forgive[Em]ness
with their knowledge of defeat [Baug]and war
Love ripples away [C]in fading circles
from your cast -off from [D]the shore
But the pain [G]was brighter
When [F]the shackles of summer[C]'s past
[B]The surrender was more [Baug]sus picious
[Em]than convincing
Or relaxed
[C]To [D]be continued [G]later
[C]To be fin[D]ished at [G]any cost
[C]What [D]you want, and all you aban[G]don
[Em]In the e[C]nd, was exac[D]tly what you l[G]ost
