Dm C Em C
Dm C Em C
[Verse 1]
Am C
We started like children
F
Lost in the building by the wall
Am C
Hope lost to fear
F
And nothing was clear when lost it all
[Chorus]
Dm C
This is how, how we tried
Em C
This is where, where it died
Dm C
This is how, how we cried
Em C
Like the dogs left outside
[Verse 2]
Am C
We were so cautious
F
Guarding the locksets viciously
Am C
I'm never breathing
F
Tender like ribbons obviously
[Chorus]
Dm C
This is how, how we tried
Em C
This is where, where it died
Dm C
This is how, how we cried
Em C
Like the dogs left outside
[Instrumental]
Am C F F
Am C F F
Dm C Em C
Dm C Em C
[Verse 3]
Am C
I am too shy to cry
F
You gave her one kind to provoke
Am C
Even with balance
F
Losing the hope with you again
[Chorus]
Dm C
This is how, how we tried
Em C
This is where, where it died
Dm C
This is how, how we cried
Em C
Like the dogs left outside
[Verse 4]
Am C
His words are like sharp knives
F
Reading on my rights every time
Am C
Crying to our son
F
I was just so wrong every time
[Chorus]
Dm C
This is how, how we tried
Em C
This is where, where it died
Dm C
This is how, how we cried
Em C
Like the dogs left outside
