[Intro]
Bbsus2 Fsus2 Csus2 (3x)
Bbsus2 Fsus2 Csus2
[Chorus]
Bbsus2 F Bbsus2 Dm
You cut our ropes,
Bbsus2 F
left the umbilical,
Csus2
and now I carry around
Bbsus2 F
this weight of broken hope.
Bbsus2 Dm
I can’t retrace,
Bbsus2 F
and I lost my hold
Csus2
and blame myself because that is all
Bbsus2
I’ve ever known.
[Verse 1]
F
Your face shows doubt
Ebsus2
when your head feels the wake of the sorrow.
Bbsus2
Swore to me that you could live without
F Ebsus2
then the beg turns to take turns to borrow.
Bbsus2
Help me down.
I just want this out.
F Ebsus2 Bbsus2
When you bend, when you break, when you follow
Bbsus2 F
you cut me out.
[Chorus]
Bbsus2 Dm
Then you cut our ropes,
Bbsus2 F
left the umbilical,
Csus2 Bbsus2 F
and now i’m lost and I can’t take this path back home.
Bbsus2 Dm
Send a birthday card.
Bbsus2 F
Leave a one-way note.
Csus2
I lied. I’m sorry. This isn’t easy. I don’t know.
Bbsus2 F
Bbsus2 Dm
And you’d ask me to “open your walls to this.”
[Verse 2]
Csus2 Bbsus2 Dm
But I’m scared, fingers broken,
Csus2
and ill-prepared to let this drag out.
Bbsus2 Dm
When you forgot the words to our song.
Csus2
When you can’t remember names its been too long.
Bbsus2 Dm
When you stopped asking what was wrong
Csus2
all the pressure built up it was too strong.
Bbsus2
and I can’t remember names its been too long.
Bbsus2
and I can’t find your face in the crowd.
[Verse 3]
F Csus2 Bbsus2
I made a promise said my eyes would stay shut
F Csus2 Bbsus2
through something called the scope of all of this rebuilding.
F Csus2 Bbsus2
I broke when I entered. Displaced from the center,
F Csus2 Bbsus2
I can’t find my way around this.
F Csus2 Bbsus2
My wounds healed while my fingers fixed
