Tom: G
| Amaj7 | Amaj7 |
| Amaj7 | Amaj7 | F#m | F#m | x2
[Verse 1]
Amaj7
Taunting waves and toying with chances
F#m
Night and day and night
Amaj7
I can't help it, can we really help it?
F#m
The thinning distance between you and I
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m
This is the color of my silver lining made of gold
G
Here comes the storybook hero that I once was told of
Bm F#m
And I roll away descend the pull of gravity
G
Insert denial here the things even the blind can see
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
I've got everything to lose
G
So why not lose it anyway, why not?
Bm F#m
All I needed from you was to sing
G
What I had to say
[Interlude]
| Amaj7 | Amaj7 | F#m | F#m |
[Verse 2]
Amaj7
Evasive as I may seem, it seems there is no need
F#m
To hide such things
Amaj7
From you like undisguising
The obvious
F#m
Tease the naked
Chase the jaded one
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m
This is the time of the night when I pretend to sleep so sound
G
Riding a carousel too many times so roundabout
Bm F#m
And I roll away and leave behind security
G
Fading in and out, I wait for you to fall for me
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
Take me down the road
G
Of when you were younger
When you loved her so
Bm F#m G
All I needed from you was to sing
Everything
[Tag]
Bm F#m
Forgive the child in your woman
Your woman is a child
G
If you know so much better
Then why are you here now?
Bm F#m
Why are you here now?
G
Oh, why are you here now?
