capo 2 

D      Bm      G          A 
I gave my hand for you to hold 
D      Bm      G                 A 
I gave my love that you went and sold 
D             Bm         G              
Exchanged our song for another 
D           Bm              G              
Can't blame this sad flame that once glowed like no other 

Em     A 
How do you soften 
D              Bm 
The thought of carrying coffins? 
Em         A 
We were so alive 
D       G 
Only to see us wither and die 

D       Bm          G                      A 
You say you'd stand even if this would all fall 
D                Bm      G                A 
You're yearning, yielded when you hit the wall 
D      Bm         G              
I shut your ears, tried to make you hear my call 
D            Bm         G              
But you were long gone, no hope in a sunless dawn 


Em     A 
How do you soften 
D              Bm 
The thought of carrying coffins? 
Em         A 
We were so alive 
D       Bm                Em     A 
Only to see us wither and die 
D   Bm    Em       A 
Oh, why          
D             G 
must soil run dry 


Bm                                      A 
And I never ever thought I'd hear these words be said 
D                    G 
Now I lay here in an unmade bed 
Bm                     A 
Empty stomach's unable to be fed 
D                               G 
Your ego swallowed you and from there you fled 
Bm     A 
So far away 
D              G 
Could not find your way back 
Bm          A 
Walked down the path 
D                  G 
Where feet slipped through the cracks 

D                  Bm 
Where feet slipped through the cracks 
G 
Could not find your way back 
D                  Bm 
Where feet slipped through the cracks 
G 
Could not find your way back 


Em     A 
How do you soften 
D              Bm 
The thought of carrying coffins? 
Em         A 
We were so alive 
D       Bm                Em     A 
Only to see us wither and die 
D   Bm    Em       A 
Oh, why          
D             G 
must soil run dry
