Verse 1:
[A] I met you on a stormy [D]weekend
[A] You never meant to draw the [D]line
[A] I saw you [Bm]once you didn't s[D]mile
Thought you needed my ad[E]vice
But didn't [F#m]know it at the [D]time
Verse 2:
[A] I called you in the dead of [D]winter
[A] You didn't even hold the [D]line
[A] I've seen it [Bm]all the great dec[D]line
One more troubled state of [E]mine
What's so [F#m]wrong? Why can't you [D]even try?
Chorus 1:
[A] Hear me out now
[D] a thousand miles around
[F#m] That the sound of strangers
breaking [E]new ground
[A] It's the breakdown
[D] of a lifetime
[Bm] Here we go now [E]falling
of the straight line
[A]Lost in [Bm]city [D]lights
[A]Lost in [Bm]city [D]lights
Verse 3:
[A] I know all about
your little [D]secrets
[A] I've felt the chills
and your reg[D]rets
[A] I heard them [Bm]all
yeah through the [D]wall
While you never had a [E]clue
And if you [F#m]knew what would you [D]do?
Chorus 2:
[A] Hear me out now
[D] a thousand miles around
[F#m] That the sound of strangers
breaking [E]new ground
[A] It's the breakdown
[D] of a lifetime
[Bm] Here we go now [E]falling
of the straight line
Breakdown:
[F#m] [D] [E] I'm dreaming
[F#m] [A] [E] I'm dreaming
F#m D E F#m A E(hold)
I'm dreaming
Bridge: with Synth Piano solo
[A] Falling back in the [D]days
you were doing all [F#m]right
If you're set in your [E]ways
then you fade out of [A]sight
When at first it felt [D]wrong
it soon became [F#m]right
Now the cracks on the [E]wall
were a map of your [D]life
The addiction is [E]back and
it's heavy this [A]time
Now you're talking to the
[F#m]voices [E]through the [D]wall
Will you make it this [E]time?

Outro:
[A]I don't [D]wanna [F#m]know
That the sound of strangers
breaking [E]new ground
[A]Lost in [D]city [Bm]lights
[Bm] Here we go now [E]falling
A(hold)
