Tom: C
Dm Am
So long, I lie here entwined like a helix
C Dm
Don’t know where I begin, where you end
Dm Am
How long do we go on trying to feed it
C Dm
I just know, I just know, that this can’t grow
[Chorus]
Dm Am
I wrote this song to tell you I’m leaving
C Dm
Afraid to say these words to your face
Dm Am
Must be better than a letter a text or an email
C Dm
My ride stops here at the end of the line.
[Verse 2]
Dm Am G
We stopped time, when we signed in the year, of our Lord, 1999
Dm
With a kiss spitting out, spitting out, time lines
Dm Am
From the moment we locked eyes at the station our hours got synchronized
G Dm
Two reduced to one life, forever proposed, wicked like a land mine?
[Chorus]
Dm Am
I wrote this song to tell you I’m leaving
C Dm
Afraid to say these words to your face
Dm Am
Must be better than a letter a text or an email
C Dm
My ride stops here at the end of the line.
[Verse 3]
Dm
Every kiss has lost its flavor
Am
I’m not proud of my behavior
G Dm
Beached on rock, thought that it was land
Dm
Lost respect, love departed
Am
what was fresh, we took for granted
G Dm
need to rely on more than just a friend
[Chorus]
Dm Am
I wrote this song to tell you I’m leaving
C Dm
Afraid to say these words to your face
Dm Am
Must be better than a letter a text or an email
C Dm
My ride stops here at the end of the line.
