Tom: D
A Bm
[Verse]
D G A
Such magic things does a bare heart bring,
Bm
Rare and fragile,
D G
Crumbling with the easiest pressure.
A Bm D
So with great trepidation
G A
I let in those words you wrote,
Bm Bb A
A gift from a similar stranger.
[Interlude]
D Bm G A
[Chorus]
A Bm D
Doesn't it feel good to sing?
G A
When you've lost grip on everything
Bm D
Open your chest, breathe it out on the floor,
G A
Or what was any of this for?
Bm D
What happened broke my heart
G A
And I'm sure that it broke yours.
Bm D
But if you can't feel alive from this
G
What was any of it for?
[Interlude]
A Bm D G (x2)
[Verse]
A Bm D
I may have seemed distant;
G A
Like I wasn't on the page.
Bm
I showed my best side tonight
D G
Now I'm crossing over into the grey space.
A Bm D
Kindly I ask you,
G A
If we didn't have these songs to play
Bm A
Would I be such an interesting party
A
Or just another unwelcome face?
[Chorus]
A Bm D
Doesn't it feel good to sing?
G A
When you've lost grip on everything
Bm D
Open your chest, breathe it out on the floor,
G A
Or what was any of this for?
Bm D
What happened broke my heart
G A
And I'm sure that it broke yours.
Bm D
But if you can't feel alive from this
G
What was any of it for?
[Interlude]
D A
[Bridge]
D
You can either write it or you can't
D
But you can't make demands
A
On a mind with other plans.
Bm
The hours that you spent
Bm
With your will so bent
A
Won't bring the moment back. (x2 before second part comes in)
D
It never was easy, even if the past now seems rosy.
A
It takes a little distance.
A
Your perspective's grown oh so cozy.
Bm
Sure it gets harder, sure it does.
A
Everything's harder, when the children grow up
A
To get what they wanted. (repeat til end on D)
