[Verso 1]

A                               D 
Conveniently I wait avoid these feelings and other mistakes 
   A                                D 
If only I were taller I'd see past the clutter and plan an escape 
     A                                 D 
I've hollowed out my heart so emotions can echo and drift apart 
         A                               D 
But they haunt me in my sleep a constant pounding that wants to speak

[Verso 2]
 
      A                                 D 
These infectious little lies are barely breathing they're barely alive 
     A                              D 
So I swallow my pride embrace these moments that seem contrived 
     A                              D 
It's only been eight weeks since I conceded my defeat 
       A                              D 
But it lingers like a scar that won't allow me to retreat 


[Refrão]
 
C#7               F#m 
My dear friend no longer by my side 
Bm                    F#m 
If only you could see what you meant to me 
C#7       F#m 
I have to bridge this gap somehow 
Bm                        F#m            E 
The past is far too close and the future hangs in my face 


[Verso 3]
 
A                               D 
These abbreviated thoughts won't affect you in the end 
A                               D 
'Cause the sun's about to set on this moment and on this trend 


[Refrão]
 
C#7               F#m 
My dear friend no longer by my side 
Bm                    F#m 
If only you could see what you meant to me 
C#7       F#m 
I have to bridge this gap somehow 
Bm                        F#m            E 
The past is far too close and the future hangs in our face patiently
