        Am
And in time
                   F             C
As one reminds the other of the past
   F                   C      G/B    Am
A life lived much too fast to hold onto
          F      C
How am I losing you?
          Am
A broken house
                   F               C
Another dry month waiting for the rain
    F             C       G/B   Am
And I had been resisting this decay
                 F      C
I thought you'd do the same

Chorus:
                  F     C
But this is all I ever was
                     F      C          G      C
And this is all you came across those years ago
         F      C
Now you go too far
                          F        C            G        C
Don't tell me that I've changed because that's not the truth
     F       C      G
And now I'm losing you

Fragile sound
The world outside just watches as we crawl
Crawl towards a life of fragile lines
And wasted time

And so I cry
As I hold you for the last time in this life
This life I tried so hard to give to you
What would you have me do?

Chorus

                Am        F         C
Where I used to end was where you start
    Am       F    C
You were the only one
                   Am    F        C
And now I see your eyes move too fast
    Am       F    C
You were the only one

Careful hands
And wandering without that much to say
Your words are empty as the bed we made
Is there another way?
Oh love, is there another way?

Chorus

And now I'm losing you
