Standard (EADGBE)

 I saw the light dance on your face

 Paint the shadows of your shape

 Back when the season made the days so long

 And if I knew my time would come

 With the lines rehearsed but never sung

 I'd leave the chorus on your tongue

 I swear

 Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet

 Every second takes a thousand days away from me

 And if I close my eyes

 I hear the gates swing wide

 And by the morning light

 I will have seen both sides

f#m--D-A-

 I've got a funny feeling that it's my day to leave

Shoulders down the sweat drips across my cheek

 As I turn I can taste the salt in the shallow sea

 I feel their hearts beating next to me

 I hear the chatter of my teeth

 Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet

 The final thrill, the quiet spill, the vile retreat

 Do you see the waves running away from me?

 You taste the cold here in the air I breathe

 Why'd you let me go? 'Cause I can no longer see

And I scream

Oh my god

Oh my god

Oh my god

Oh my god

Oh my god

Oh my god

 Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet

 Every second takes a thousand days away from me

 And if I close my eyes

 I hear the gates swing wide

 And by the morning light

 I will have seen both sides

 So why'd you let me go?

 I can no longer see

 And I can't breathe
