Immediately after listening to it, I fell in love with this song. Enjoy!

E B
So slowly I'm losing
Abm E
who I've sworn to be.
E B
a promise in pencil
Abm E
that years have made so hard to read.
E B
I've spent my life building walls
Abm E
brick by brick and bruise by bruise...
E B Abm Gb
a birdcage religion that whispered me to sleep.

Instrumental: E, B, E, B, E, B, E, B, Gb

E B
but time is spinning silk
Abm E
that coils ruthlessly;
E B
with the devil's patience,
Abm E
it binds my hands so quietly
Gb E Gb
that soon it becomes a part of me.

Instrumental: E, B, E, B, E, B, E, B, Gb (2X)

E B Abm E
so soften these edges and straighten out my tie.
E B
and help me remember
Abm E
the hope that I have compromised.

Gb E Gb
please be a broken record for me.

Instrumental: E, B, E, B, E, B, E, B, Gb
