Verse 1:
[C#m] I search your [A9]words
Fish for [B9]breaks in every [C#m]line
You say you'll [A9]paint a picture [B9]in my mind
I'm [C#m]paying attention to details
And [A9]searching for a[B9]ny misleading i[C#m]deas
You tell a tale
One [A9]grand enough to [B9]carry me a[A9]way

'cause this will be the [A9]last time
I stand [B9]by with eyes closed tight

Verse 2:
[C#m] And it's hard to know
[A9] If I had [B9]caught this months a[C#m]go
I could have faced myself
[A9]Saved myself [B9]from this di[C#m]sease
It's killing me faster
With [A9]every single [B9]second you are [C#m]gone
You needed an answer but when [A9]I said, "yes"
I [B9]meant "forever[A9]more!"

(Repeat Pre Chorus and Chorus)

Interlude: C#m---

Bridge: Silence and the best switch from 3/4 to 4/4
[E] I look into your eyes
[C#m] and see that your colors changing
[A9] I wish that [B9]I could
change with [E]you
and when you said forever
[C#m] did you mean it to be true?
[A9] or was it a[B9]nother tale from you?
(Repeat x4)
