[Verse 1]
G D
When I look into the future I see failure
Em D
and fear and death and endless tragedy
G D
When you look ahead, tell me, what do you see?
Em D
Is it still something involving you and me?
[Chorus]
G Dmaj7
Did I stay too long in your arms and the safety of your touch?
Bm D
Have I lost the will to fight these devils off?
G Dmaj7
Did I stay too long in your arms sheltered from the storm?
Bm D
Am I too detached from what you saved me from?
[Verse 2]
[repeat intro riff between the verse and the chorus]
G D
When I look to the night sky I see darkness
Em D
with well-lit interruptions in between
G D
When you look above, tell me, what do you see?
Em D
Is there a heaven in the sky for you and me?
[Chorus]
G Dmaj7
Did I stay too long in your arms and the safety of your touch?
Bm D
Have I lost the will to fight these devils off?
G Dmaj7
Did I stay too long in your arms sheltered from the storm?
Bm D
Am I too detached from what you saved me from?
[Breakdown]
D G D G
G
When I get upset, when you try to help
F#m
When I pretend I'm not feeling well
Em
So I don't have to hang with your friends
D
In a crowded bar of idiots
G
When I ask you what you really think
F#m
And I freak out about everything
Em
When you try your best to clear my head
D
But I sink a mile under the bed.
G
Is it all my fault or just most of it?
F#m
My potential turns to worthlessness
Em
And you reach to pull me out of it
D
But the weight just starts to suck you in
G
You say "it can't be me, no not again
F#m
I'll drown in the rain before this storm ends"
Em
All the missteps flash inside my head
D
And I'm wondering, oh...
[Chorus]
G Dmaj7
Did I stay too long in your arms and the safety of your touch?
Bm D
Have I lost the will to fight these devils off?
G Dmaj7
Did I stay too long in your arms sheltered from the storm?
Bm D
Am I too detached from what you saved me from?
(repeat intro riff)
Did I stay too long?
