D    G
Hollow
C                G/B            D
Thunder wakes me up before the sun
     G
Wallow
C                  G/B           D
Pickin' out the splinters one by one
                        G                    C
Tell it to the mountain, tell it to the river
 G/B                    D
Leave it in the shadows, leave to the sinners
      G
Swallow
C              G/B              D
Takin' all the punches as they come

Chorus:
                Gm
Last night, I blacked out
     A#
The memories we knew
            Dm
And then I cashed out
   C
I paid your demons too
            Gm
And then I passed out
   A#
A goodbye kiss for you
           Dm                  C
Because I just don't have the heart to love you

"Goodbye"
Must've said that word a million times
Why try?
It's too hard to read between the lines
So I tell it to the mountain, tell it to the river
Leave it in the shadows, leave to the sinners
Midnight
Another chance to leave it all behind

Chorus:
Last night, I blacked out
The memories we knew
And then I cashed out
I paid your demons too
And then I passed out
A goodbye kiss for you
Because I just don't have the heart to love you
Blacked out (Blacked out)
The embers of the flame
I want 'em blacked out (Blacked out)
The tattoos of your name
I want 'em blacked out (Blacked out)
Whatever still remains
Because I just don't have the heart to love you

   A#                  C
I just don't have the heart to love you
D     G
Hollow
C                G/B            D
Thunder wakes me up before the sun

Chorus:
Last night, I blacked out
The memories we knew
And then I cashed out
I paid your demons too
And then I passed out
A goodbye kiss for you
Because I just don't have the heart to love you
Blacked out (Blacked out)
The embers of the flame
I want 'em blacked out (Blacked out)
The tattoos of your name
I want 'em blacked out (Blacked out)
Whatever still remains
Because I just don't have the heart to love you
