[Intro]
Bm F#m 2x
[Verse]
Bm
How long, how long,
F#m
Lower than the sea
Bm
To let you go,
F#m
Too far to even try to reach.
D F#m
And don’t you even try to let it go
D F#m
While everything around me is breaking down so slow.
Bm F#m
Where will you go when we all fade away?
Bm F#m
Where is your civil time about the sun makes to us.
D F#m
So when you walk outside to see the reasons for
D F#m
Do not forget the light that doesn’t make you grow.
[Stick]
C
But you’re staying home at just the saddest news
Bm
There is no side to chose.
C
And the numbers grow and push you down so low,
[Pre-chorus]
G Bm F#m Em F#m
You’ll never let it lose, don’t ever let it loose.
G Bm F#m Em F#m
Oh, was it a low way down to leave us behind?
[Chorus]

So stay where you are,
D
Come on, write them all,
G Em
But if the skies will fall I’ll be asking for you
F# Bm D
No one wants to see your cold the way the others do
G Em F#
If these are your prayers I won’t follow you through.
Bm D G Em
When the flame turns blue
F# Bm D G Em F#
Not even you will lead us through
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
Bm

F#m
If you see me, I move slow
Bm
My head rolls off,
F#m
I spread the bands where I go.
D F#m
You’ll see the ones that lost get miles into
D F#m
Like all your loved ones play the best part of your all.
[Stick]
C
I can help you, now, when you ask me how
Bm
I see the trouble in your way.
C
If you ran out time, you just stay in line and
[Pre-chorus]

Don’t ever let it lose, don’t ever let it lose.
G Bm F#m Em F#
Oh, was it a long way down they leave us behind

So stay where you are, come around of them all,
G Em
Now it’s not too far, they’ve been asking for you.
F# Bm D
No one wants to see your cold the way the others do
G Em F#
If these are your prayers I won’t follow through.
Bm D G Em
When the flame turns blue
F# Bm D G Em F#
Not even you will lead us through.
[Pre-chorus]
G Bm F#m Em F#
Don’t let it lose, don’t ever let it lose.
G Bm F#m Em F#
Oh, was it a long way down, a long way down?
[Chorus]
Bm D G Em F#
Not even you will lead us through.
Bm D G Em F#
When the flame turns blue.
