E
You talked me to sleep last night
C#m                F#
I hadn't felt that sad in years
E
Your eyes like glass mistakes
C#m            F#
They moved me close to tears
G#m
You speak those favorite fables which
I'm yet to live
F#
And casually confirm my fears
C#m                          G#m
That I've got nothing to give

Chorus:
F#                               G#m        D#m
I wish I could say that I've got no regrets
F#                                   G#m        D#m
But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk
F#                              G#m           D#m
I wish I could say I've come to time like old
A                          C#m         A
But as you said goodbye, I almost died
  C#m        F#
I almost died

I take it back, all of it
Those names I called myself
The heroes of my childhood
Like hardbacks on the shelf
I take it back, those promises I made to everyone
I'm falling through a ribbon last
Before I'd learnt to run

Chorus:
F#                               G#m        D#m
I wish I could say that I've got no regrets
F#                                   G#m        D#m
But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk
F#                              G#m           D#m
I wish I could say I've come to time like old
A                          C#m        F#  A
But as you said goodbye, I almost died
  C#m        F# A
I almost died
  C#m        F# A
I almost died
