F#
Padded by locks the door knob singed
   B
A rusty close to a doorknob hinge
F#                                  B
Remembering the sounds we used to know
F#
But when those sounds sang from our halls
     B                                 F#
The backstop pressed against bleached walls
                               B
Do you remember the sound of snow?
     D#m                   B
And these flames, boil in reclaim
On the way down

Chorus:
F#
I can follow you
                             B
Your heart beats just like I wanted it to
                     F#
And you want it to, whoa
On the way down
F#
I can follow you
                              B
Your heart beats just like I wanted it to
                      F#
And you want it to, whoa

  G#m             B           F#
Behind the road you wait for long

So I said follow me down this time
I wrote the rules, but you've got the time
So can you help me?
I've got to break free

From these chains
Oh, from these chains on the way down

Chorus

F#     D#m    B
Oohhhh Oohhhh
     D#m               D7
Your eyes are closed before us
     D#m             D7
Your sighs are all around
    B                   F#
Inside the walls have fallen
     B                F#
And now, you're all alone

Chorus

Behind the road, you wait for Love.
