Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

[C]There is no great thing to stop and sing, waiting for the rain And this perfect pill, it’s all too much on the edge again [F] [Am] [G] Don’t look away [F] [Am] [G]

[C]Couldn’t help but note a cold disdain in your precious face Why do you always speak when you have no grace in your precious face [F] [Am] [G]

[F]But even in [Am]the dark, I saw [G]you were the only one [F]alone At these hot [Am]gates you spit your [G]vitriol though you swore you wouldn’t do this any[F]more And I can’t be [Am]for you, all of [G]the things that you want me to. But [F]I will love you [Am]constantly there’s [G]precious little else to me And [Am]though we [G]cry we must [C]stay alive

[Am] [G] [C] [C] [G] Another [C]fragile edge and a tender sound and then you went aground Near a [C]duller blade a promise out of sight there’s nothing here for you tonight

[F]But even in [Am]the dark, I saw [G]you were the only one [F]alone At these hot [Am]gates you spit your [G]vitriol though you swore you wouldn’t do this any[F]more And I can’t be [Am]for you, all of [G]the things that you want me to. But [F]I will love you [Am]constantly there’s [G]precious little else to me

And [Am]though we [G]cry we must [C]stay alive There is [Am]no way [G]out of your [C]only life, so run [Am]on, run [G]on

[F] [Am] [G] [F] [Am] [G] [F] [Am] [G] [F] [Am] [G] [Am] [G] [C] [Am] [G] [C]
