F                                     F#
You're falling further down but I've got you
by a thread
F                                        F#
I wrap the cord around my arms until my hands
start to turn red
D#                 F                       Gm
But it's not enough, it won't be enough to save
     D#m
you.. Mmm

She's so in love with all the things
I hate most about myself
I'm so in love with all the sounds
she makes when she smiles, and well
It's a little tough, to put acorn
shells on ice sheets
Without breaking through, and flooding
the whole town

Chorus:
D#      F#             F              Gm
I hope you're alright, I didn't wanna wake up
      D#
last night
          F#               F
'Cause I quite liked the dream I had of holding
      D#
your hand
      F#         F         D#
It's funny how slowly time goes when
     F#                D#              A#
my thoughts have been racing all this time

It's alright to feel a little bit of
darkness now and then
I know I've said it once but I still
tell myself again and again
"You'll never be enough", but what is enough?
You're selfless, isn't that enough?

Banana bread before I go to bed will put
the bees to sleep
Otherwise they'd buzz and sting my lungs
all night inside of me
Just wait a little while, you don't cry
too much
You know that when you smile,
the sun shines more gently
