C#                                    E
Please don't let this turn into something it's not
B                          A
I can only give you everything I've got
C#                           E
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
B                                 A
but I still love you more than anyone else could

All that I keep thinkin' throughout this whole flight
Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right
This splintered mast I'm holdin' on won't save me long
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong

Chorus:
     C#m              B
The last girl in the last reason
    A                    F#m
to make this last for as long as I could
C#m                 B
First kiss and the first time
     A                   F#m
that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you taught me
To look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence
You ever uttered to me was "love"
The last girl and the last reason
To make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time
That I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you taught me
To look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence
You ever uttered to me was "love"

We have got through so much worse than this before
What's so different this time that you can't ignore?
You say it is much more than just my last mistake
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes

Chorus - x2

C#          F#/A#  B
And I don't know where to look
               F#/A#
My words just break and melt
                               C#
Please just save me from this darkness
Please just save me from this darkness

And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness
Please just save me from this darkness
