[Intro]
F C Cmaj7

[Verse]
F
Past the strain, fever crushed
  C               Cmaj7
I woke to human sound
F
An empty street
              C          Cmaj7
Loneliness, a fire going out
F
I feel estranged
                   C
From all the world around
               Cmaj7
The feeling's grown
                    F  C  Cmaj7
I feel I'm letting go

[Verse]
F
Down the street
                     C
At once where worlds collide
              Cmaj7
And light you alone
F
In an effort strained
                      C
I stopped to find the line
              Cmaj7
Best ends the poem
F
Where were you
                     C
When all of this was fucked
            Cmaj7
And on it's side?
                     F
Those words are underlined

[Chorus]
Am                       G
In your part, you were a wreck
                  F
You were one foot back
                          Am
Counting and weighing the odds
                      G
You were wrong for it love
                    F
There was something there
              Am
Now erased to black
                  G
With the wrongful act
                F
Of your one lit half

You can't rely on me
   C      Cmaj7      F  C  Cmaj7
To straighten you away

[Verse]
F
Now the weight
                     C
Of all that's fallen down
        Cmaj7
Is mine alone
F
I see the way

You watched your walk
   C                Cmaj7
Of blindness find a home
F
Well I know that change
                 C
To let become as right
        Cmaj7
What is known
                      F
I've seen that letting go

[Chorus]
Am                 G
And in the parting wreck
                   F
You were a wounded lamb
                        Am
You couldn't win in the odds
                  G
All your mournful love
               F
Into some thin air
                        Am
While I was away in the aisles
           G
In a wanderlust
              F
In the sunlit air

I saw a light on you
       C    Cmaj7  F  C  Cmaj7
But it faded away
