Tuning: Standard, capo 6th fret
[Verse 1] F Everyone sees, but only I know CG/D Nothing to lose, nothing to save to make a whole F What if I should make a loss? CG/D Hold up both my hands, my fingers crossed
F I don't sleep well, laying low CG/D Never keepin' up, never lettin' go F What if I should look away? CG/D Every human touch will be repayed
[Pre-Chorus] F Without restraint G Within our veins
[Chorus] Am We bide our time, stay afloat Am Keepin' the sun up off our bones G I never asked to know, never planned G Till it was swept out of my hand Am We bide our time, stay afloat Am Keepin' the dying light exposed G I never asked to know, never lied G So I could keep you on my side
[Post-Chorus] F We feel the same G Without restraint F We feel the same G Within our veins
[Verse 2] F Everyone comes, but only I stay CG/D Nowhere to look, nowhere to turn to fall away F What if I should call it off? CG/D Hold up my demands with my heart uncrossed
F I don't sleep well, laying low CG/D Never keepin' up, never lettin' go F What if I should let it fade CG/D Every human touch will be repayed
[Pre-Chorus] F Without restraint G Within our veins
[Chorus] Am We bide our time, stay afloat Am Keepin' the sun up off our bones G I never asked to know, never planned G Till it was swept out of my hand Am We bide our time, stay afloat Am Keepin' the dying light exposed G I never asked to know, never lied G So I could keep you on my side
