[Intro]
Fm Ab
It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
Db Ab Eb/G
What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them
Fm Ab
As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping
Db Ab Eb/G
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten
[Instrumental]
Fm Ab Db Ab Eb/G x2
[Verse 1]
Fm Ab
there is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
Db Ab Eb/G
there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
Fm Ab
but seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
Db Ab Eb/G
walls that we just can't break through until we disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
Db
so tell me now
Eb
if this ain't love then how
Db
do we get out?
Eb
cause I don't know
[Chorus]
Fm
that's when she said I don't hate you boy
Ab
I just want to save you
Db Ab
while there's still something left to save
Eb/G
that's when I told her
Fm
I love you girl
Ab
but I'm not the answer for
Db Ab Eb/G
the questions that you still have
[Instrumental]
Fm Ab Db Ab Eb/G x2
[Verse 2]
Fm
and the day pressed on like crushing weights
Ab
for no man does it ever wait
Db
like memories of dying days
Ab Eb/G
that deafen us like hurricanes
Fm
bathed in flames we held the brand
Ab
uncurled the fingers in your hand
Db
pressed into the flesh like sand
Ab Eb/G
now do you understand?
[Pre-Chorus]
Db
so tell me now
Eb
if this ain't love then how
Db
do we get out?
Eb
cause I don't know
[Chorus]
Fm
that's when she said I don't hate you boy
Ab
I just want to save you
Db Ab
while there's still something left to save
Eb/G
that's when I told her
Fm
I love you girl
Ab
but I'm not the answer for
Db Ab Eb/G
the questions that you still have
[Instrumental]
Fm
[Bridge]
Fm Eb
one thousand miles away
Db
there's nothing left to say
Eb
but so much left that I don't know
Fm Eb
we never had a choice
Db
this world is too much noise
it takes me under
Eb
it takes me under once again
[Instrumental]
Fm
[Pre-Chorus]
Db
so tell me now
Eb
if this ain't love then how
Db
do we get out?
Eb
cause I don't know
[Chorus]
Fm
that's when she said I don't hate you boy
Ab
I just want to save you
Db Ab
while there's still something left to save
Eb/G
that's when I told her
Fm
I love you girl
Ab
but I'm not the answer for
Db Ab Eb/G
the questions that you still have
[Outro]
