Verse 1
F# D A-B
Waking up to the image I can't erase
I'm seeing ghosts of the feelings I once chased
F# D A-B
Shaken up by the answers you'd present
At the most, I believed in you, to some extent
F# D A-B
'Cause I feel that I can't go on
I trusted you to some extent
F# D A-B
With this void inside bleeding on
Shared love with you, I regret
F# - D - B - D//E - B - B//A
Salt jaded and empty
F# - D - B - B - A
silence

Riff 1 over
F# D E(a)
F# D A-B
All I've known was living life a bit more
Meaningful than the days before
F# D A-B
That night you said you felt like shit
When you looked at me, I must admit
F# D A-B
Nobody's ever said the things you said to me
I trusted you to some extent
F# D A-B
Now I'll never give away the best of me
Shared love with you, I regret
F# - D - B - D//E - B - B//A
Salt jaded and empty
F# - D - B - B - A
silence
x2
E(a) F#
And the long drive home,
A(a) D(a)
And the long drive home, I
F#(a) D
Swerved round the lane hours
A B
Fatigued with the thoughts in my mind
E(a) F#
And the long drive home,
A(a) D(a)
I swerved round the lane hours,
F#(a) D
Wishing and praying to a blackened sky
A B
That one day, things would turn out like...
E(A) F# A(a) D
The lives I've seen and the love you shared with me
F# D A B
The lives I've seen and the love you shared with me
enjoy
cheers
