Chords Used:
[Bm]Sta[G]nd[D]ar[Asus4]d Tuning:
Intro: Bm G D Asus4 (2X) Play along to figure strumming pattern
VERSE 1: Bm G D Asus4 (6X)
[Bm]This is my renaissance
[G]This is my one response
[D]This is the way I say I love you[Asus4]
[Bm]This is my second chance
[G]This is my one romance
[D]This is the cutting line
[Asus4]On which I stand to show you
[Bm]It happened fast in a flash just this evening
[G]I hit the gas, horn blast, brakes screaming
[D]Car crash, broken glass, broke my dreaming
[Asus4]I hit the dash so fast my ears are ringing
[Bm]My sister?s on the right side just slightly leaning
[G]I grabbed her hand hard until she started breathing
[D]My brother?s in the back jaw cracked from the beating
[Asus4]The breath in my chest has slipped and I?m sinking
[Bm]Blinking through diamond spider webs of cracked glass
[G]I?m trying to remember all the words you said in the past
[D]Through the ash, siren screams and red beams
[Asus4]I hear you sing softly to me
CHORUS: D G Asus4 D (2X)
[D]I can be the wall when you fall down
[G]Find me on the rocks when you break down
[Asus4]I heard it in the song when you call out
[D]But I got to say now it?s got to change (REPEAT)
BREAK: Bm G D Asus4 (1X)
[Bm]This is my broken heart
[G]This is my bleeding start
[D]This is the way I?ve come to know you[Asus4]
[Bm]This is my winding road
[G]This is my way back home
[D]This is the narrow door you know that I will[Asus4] walk through
VERSE 2: Bm G D Asus4 (4X)
[Bm]I got a letter today of why she went away
[G]She said, it?s better this way, you know I never could stay
[D]Half empty closets and frames, all that?s left to my name
[Asus4]As she left in the rain and left my heart on a chain
[Bm]Three years I?ve built this two-face tower for hours on a lease
[G]You gave me one yellow flower that said rest in peace
[D]In pieces I?ve broken open to think too much or just enough
[Asus4]Alone to trust midst the rubble and the dust
[Bm]Humbled, it took this much to break down and understand
[G]Spent my life this far on castles made of sand
[D]Tossed in the breakers in the palm of your hand
[Asus4]Now I can finally stand
CHORUS: D G Asus4 D (4X)
[D]I can be the wall when you fall down
[G]Find me on the rocks when you break down
[Asus4]I heard it in the song when you call out
[D]But I got to say now it?s got to change
[D]I can be the wall''.[G]
[Asus4]I heard it in the song''?..[D]
[D]I can be the wall'''?[G]
[Asus4]I heard it in the song'''?[D]
Bm G D Asus4 (2X)
[Bm]This is my renaissance
[G]This is my one response
[D]This is the way I say I love yo[Asus4]u.
End on Asus4
