These faded pictures never wash away

Threads, I keep pulling these threads
C#          G#              D#     Fm
Unravelled memories scatter in my head

Silence is golden, talk is cheap
C#            G#                   D#
Do you really have nothing more to say to me?

Chorus:
                  Fm                  C#
'Cause when your whole world turns upside down
G#                   D#

Oh no, that's not the way I'm made, mhmm

Days, we're just stacking up the days
Hard to get anywhere when you're running in place
Streets, we don't know where they lead
Let all those coulda-beens go quietly

Chorus:
'Cause when your whole world turns upside down
I'll be your solid ground
When if your hope can't keep up the pace
I'll never walk away, that's not the way I'm made
Oh no, that's not the way I'm made
Oh no, that's not the way I'm made, mmm-hmm
