[Intro]
F C G Dm x2
[Verse 1]
F C
Footsteps through the hollow sound
G Dm
Like the wind blew through the south cold
F C
Hadn't looked down, feared something
G Dm
Beneath the old me, without any time
F C
We all drifted out from these shores
G Dm
Finding photographs and loveletters in bottles battered, worn
F C
Shallow saltwater singing sore
G Dm
You may not be mine
F C
Friends they were shopping next door
G Dm
Spending money on things that they couldn't afford
F C
Tide pulls too deep for me to hold
G Dm
Standing still, still changing tide
F (1/4 Bar)
[Chorus]
Am E
Stay open, stay open
C E F
To catch my fault
Am
What a shame that
E
I would splinter you
C E F
Or hinder you at all
Am E
Won't give my love for free
C E F
Won't give my love for free
Fm C E F
Oh, but please, take it from me
[Verse 2]
F C
Trying to send my bitter rhyme
G Dm
But outside from your jokes I'm left to die cold
F C
It is a long drive in my thoughts
G Dm
Dance slow behind
F C
Show me that you dried in the sand
G Dm
Your favorite book with no pages, I'm a shell of a man
F C
I'm fumbling with two sets of keys
G Dm
But I'm setting 'em down
F C
Words crawl under my skin
G Dm
Like the wind from the north of your hair
F C
Last fall we buried dead plans
G Dm
Choke dying plans
F C
Last fall we buried dead plans
G Dm
Choke dying plans
F (1/4 bar)
[Chorus]
Am E
Stay open, stay open
C E F
To catch my fault
Am
What a shame that
E
I would splinter you
C E F
Or hinder you at all
Am E
Won't give my love for free
C E F
Won't give my love for free
Fm C E F (X4)
Oh, but please, take it from me
[Outro]
C Em F
Oh my god is falling in pieces
C Em Am Dm
Oh my god this is falling apart
C Em F
Oh my god is being turned over
C Em Am Dm
Oh my god, this is out of my hand
Am E
Stay open, stay open (oh my god, falling to pieces)
C E F
To catch my fault
Am
What a shame that (oh my god, falling apart)
E
I would splinter you
C E F
Or hinder you at all
Am E
Won't give my love for free (Oh my god , turning it over)
C E F
Won't give my love for free
Fm C E F (X4)
Oh but please, take it from me
