Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

, diminished, , , , ,

I must admit it's a balancing act

 It looks dangerous, that's part of it

 Remember, don't look down

, diminished

You and I standing in a crowded room

 We were pressed together but we're holding on

 Like we're all that was, That's all there was

, diminished, , , , ,

In a flash of light

 We were drunk, we were having a fight

 I was wrong, that don't mean you were right

Then you played that song

 It was a thousand seconds long

 It didn't end, it seemed to play on all night

 'Cause if I remember right I fell asleep there

Rainclouds passed and darkened more

An evening touched by waiting for the sky burst

Storms had gathered in crushing lines

 I surrendered to a way that I remembered you

That's all there was

, diminished, , , , ,

If I were forced to choose

 What I have, I have to lose

 I need love, that don't mean I need you

It started with that song

 It was a thousand seconds long

 It didn't end 'cause we never got through

 And did you think that I had planned it all along,

Hoping not to be alone?

 Well I was there on the edge of the rush

 And did you leave because you thought that I would stay,

Stricken with a holy fright?

 And it was clear as the night in the cold

And I won't ever know what you're afraid of

Solo chords

diminished

And when the world ends

A thousand seconds too

diminished

We'll watch the time pass

Run through the high end too

diminished

And then we'll wait there

A thousand seconds too

diminished

That's when it all ends

A thousand seconds too
