Intro, Pluck:
F Dm A# C x2
Verse1:
[F]I gave [Dm]my hand [A#]for you to hold
[F]I gave [Dm]my love [A#]that you went and sold
[F]Exchanged [Dm]our song [A#]for another
[F]Can't blame [Dm]this sad flame that [A#]once glowed like no other
Chorus:
[Gm]How do you [C]soften
[F]The thought of [A#]carrying coffins?
[Gm]We were so a[C]live
[F]Only to [A#]see us wither and die
Same as intro, Pluck:
[F] [Dm] [A#] [C]
Verse:
[F]You say [Dm]you'd stand [A#]even if this would all fall
[F]You're yearning, [Dm]yielded [A#]when you hit the wall
[F]I shut [Dm]your ears, [A#]tried to make you hear my call
[F]But you were [Dm]long gone, [A#]no hope in a sunless dawn
Chorus:
[Gm]How do you [C]soften
[F]The thought of [A#]carrying coffins?
[Gm]We were so a[C]live
[F]Only to [A#]see us wither and [Gm]die[C]
[F]Oh,[A#] [Gm]why [C]
[F]must soil run [A#]dry
Bridge pt1:
[Dm]And I never ever thought I'd hear these [C]words be said
[A#]Now I lay here in an unmade bed
[Dm]Empty stomach's unable [C]to be fed
[A#]Your ego swallowed you and from there you fled
[Dm]So far [C]away
[A#]Could not find your way back
[Dm]Walked down [C]the path
[A#]Where feet slipped through the cracks
Bridge pt2:
[F]Where feet slipped [Dm]through the cracks
[Am]Could not find [A#]your way back
[F]Where feet slipped [Dm]through the cracks
[Am]Could not find [A#]your way back
Chorus:
[Gm]How do you [C]soften
[F]The thought of [A#]carrying coffins?
[Gm]We were so a[C]live
[F]Only to [A#]see us wither and [Gm]die[C]
[F]Oh,[A#] [Gm]why [C]
[F]must soil run [A#]dry
