D#
Can't even begin to explain
     A#
This all too well familiar pain
    Cm
It comes and it goes
                                 G#
But it gets in my bones all the same, ooh-ooh

      Cm
Well, maybe I'm a fool
     G#
For falling in love with you
        D#                  A#
When I had nothing left to lose
        Cm
And nothing more I could give
      G#
Went down with your sinking ship
     D#                           A#
Now I don't think I'll make it through
Through

Chorus:
D#                           Cm
Now it's only the beat of my heart
                                     G#
That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
                                   A#
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya
Keep ya
Keep ya from burning alone
'Cause, the longer you convince me to stay
Our salvation's slipping further away
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya
Keep ya
                      D#
Keep ya from burning alone

Forget everything we've come to expect
It only serves to further fuck with our heads
And I don't wanna pretend
This will all be alright in the end, ooh-ooh

So maybe, now, instead of balancing on the edge
We could put this to bed for good
Can call it quits or risk sinking
with this broken ship
But I don't think we'd make it through
Through

Chorus

Cm
I wish I could stay
G#
I wish I could lie
D#              A#
Do whatever it takes to get you through the night
Cm
I can't be the one
G#
I can't take the fall
D#                  A#
Can't go up in the flames to keep your body warm

Chorus
