      G                Em          Bm
You know that I can't love you more

You know that I can't love you more

Bm
Silver tongue they'll soon be gone
G                 Em
When the sunlight hits the room
Bm
Lay down with them if you want
G                      Em
Watch their breath and feel the cold

Bm
Raise your hand, bite your tongue
G               Em
Conversation is over and done
Bm
Will you let them out?
Will you let them in?
G                                Em
Will you ever know when it's the tipping point?
The tipping point

Chorus:
   Bm
So who's that ghost knocking at my door?
      G                Em
You know that I can't love you more
Bm
What’s that shape climbing over my wall?
      G                Em           Bm
You know that I can't love you more

      G                Em
You know that I can't love you more

Winter done, they'll soon be gone
From this unforgiving place
To that vague and distant void
Where the sunlight splits the I

Life is cruel, life is tough
Life is crazy, then it all turns to dust
Will you let 'em out? Will you let 'em in?
Will you ever know when it's
the tipping point, the tipping point?
The tipping point, the tipping point
The tipping point, the tipping point
The tipping point, the tipping point

Chorus:
So who's that ghost knockin' at my door?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbin' over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more
So who's that ghost knockin' at my door?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbin' over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more
Love you more, love you more, love you more
