[Intro]
C#m7 Bsus4/E C#m7 Bsus4/E
[Verse 1]
C#m7
Singin' to you in the back of the van
Bsus4/E
I can't fix it all but I'll hold your hand
C#m7
Until the headlights crack and we drive head first
Bsus4/E
For the graves in the yard of this New Jersey church
C#m7
And the closest I've come to the feeling of knives
Bsus4/E
Is the pain that I feel from the thorns in your side
C#m7
Because they poke right through your sweater
Bsus4/E
And rip the fabric that holds our illusions together
[Chorus]
Esus4 Bsus4/E
And the antidote for all the things
Esus4 Bsus4/E
That tear us up from seam to seam
C#m7
Is the space between our eyes
Bsus4/E
I never would have been here otherwise
Esus4 Bsus4/E
And I suppose that with our broken wings
Esus4 Bsus4/E
We'll have to learn to use our feet
C#m7 Bsus4/E
And maybe we will find a reason for our lives
Esus4 Bsus4/E
Well I guess we'll have to try, won't we?
[Instrumental]
C#m7 Bsus4/E C#m7 Bsus4/E
[Verse 2]
C#m7
Singin' to you in the back of my car
Bsus4/E
The lights flash red and the door's ajar
C#m7
I could tell you the truth but the truth is much worse
Bsus4/E
So I'll tell you a lie and you'll never be hurt
C#m7
And the closest I've come to the feeling of fine
Bsus4/E
Is the joy that I feel from your hands on my side
C#m7
Because they poke right through your sweater
Bsus4/E
And rip the fabric that holds my delusions together
[Chorus]
Esus4 Bsus4/E
And the antidote for all the things
Esus4 Bsus4/E
That tear us up from seam to seam
C#m7
Is the space between our eyes
Bsus4/E
I never would have been here otherwise
Esus4 Bsus4/E
And I suppose that with our broken wings
Esus4 Bsus4/E
We'll have to learn to use our feet
C#m7 Bsus4/E
And maybe we will find a reason for our lives
Esus4 Bsus4/E
Well I guess we'll have to try, won't we?
[Instrumental]
Esus4
[Refrain]
Bsus4/E
We'll have to try, won't we?
[Instrumental]
Esus4
[Bridge]
Bsus4/E
(This body isn't mine anymore)
Esus4 Bsus4/E
You should just let this go, but I can't tell you so
C#m7 Bsus4/E
No I can't and I won't, no I can't and I won't
Esus4 Bsus4/E
You should just let this go, but I can't tell you so
C#m Bsus4/E
No I can't and I won't, no I can't and I won't
[Outro]
Esus4 Bsus4/E
And the antidote for all the things
Esus4 Bsus4/E
That tear us up from seam to seam
C#m7
Is the space between our eyes
Bsus4/E
I never would have been here otherwise
Esus4 Bsus4/E
And I suppose that with our broken wings
Esus4 Bsus4/E
We'll have to learn to use our feet
C#m7 Bsus4/E
And maybe we will find a reason for our lives
Esus4 Bsus4/E
Well I guess we'll have to try, won't we?
