D
It is so easy to see
    Dmaj7
Dysfunction between you and me
    Gmaj7
We must free up these tired souls
   G
Before the sadness kills us both
    D
I tried and tried to let you know
   Dmaj7
I love you but I'm letting go
   Gmaj7
It may not last but I don't know
 G
Just don't know

        D
If you don't know, then you can't care
       Dmaj7
And I show up, but you're not there
        Gmaj7
But I'm waiting, and you want to
         G
Still afraid that I will desert you

Chorus:
D
Every day
                                     Dmaj7
With every worthless word we get more far away
                                    Gmaj7
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
                                   Gm
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
                                 D
It hurts but it may be the only way

A bed that's warm with memories
Can heal us temporarily
But misbehaving only makes
The ditch between us so damn deep
I built a wall around my heart
Never let it fall apart
Strangely, I wish secretly
It would fall down while I'm asleep

If you don't know, then you can't care
And I show up, but you're not there
But I'm waiting, and you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you

Chorus

Em                           Gm
Though we have not hit the ground
                              D       Bm
Doesn't mean we're not still falling, oh
   Em
I want so bad to pick you up
      Gm                              D
But you're still too reluctant to accept my help
         Bm
What a shame,
                               A
I hope you find somewhere to place the blame
But until then the fact remains

Chorus - x2
