First And Forever

Nothing Left To Burn

First And Forever


Tom: C

F
       Am
You look at me insatiably
        F
And cavalier
     Am
It’s crystal clear
We need a doctor, can you see this?
                 F
I think we lost her, do you believe this?

Am F C G Em F

[Verse 1]
                       Am
So paint my lungs on a blank white page
                 C
Cross my arms and mark my grave
                       F
Small words cloven and lifeless
Am
White lies are crawling at your door
C
You might have seen it all before
G                      F
You can’t expect me to save you

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                                 F
Maybe I’m the one who’s wrong this time
                                  C
Maybe I’m the one who crossed the line
                     G
Strike a match on my conscience
With nothing left (to burn)
Am                        F
Shut my eyes and leave me blind
                                         C
With that cold little heartbeat you left behind
                       G
All memory cast to the flame
     Em              F
With nothing left to burn

[Verse 2]
Am
Red lips and black eyes
F                                                        C
As if another day can’t decide, your colors drain out in violet

[Chorus]
Am                                 F
Maybe I’m the one who’s wrong this time
                                  C
Maybe I’m the one who crossed the line
                     G
Strike a match on my conscience
With nothing left (to burn)
Am                        F
Shut my eyes and leave me blind
                                         C
With that cold little heartbeat you left behind
                       G
All memory cast to the flame
     Em              F
With nothing left to burn

[Bridge]
Am                      G
I will swallow the blame if you want me to
C
Our setting sun shot down in ashes
F
Another dead end of another bad habit
Am
Lost under the grave
G                   C
Where we buried the truth
Cold words on the tip of your tongue
             F
Let me rot in the past where I belong

[Chorus]
Am                                 F
Maybe I’m the one who’s wrong this time
                                  C
Maybe I’m the one who crossed the line
                     G
Strike a match on my conscience
With nothing left (to burn)
Am                        F
Shut my eyes and leave me blind
                                         C
With that cold little heartbeat you left behind
                       G
All memory cast to the flame
     Em              F
With nothing left to burn
