[Verse 1 (palm mute)]

It kills meF not to know this but I've G#all but just forgotten
what the coC#lor of her eyes were and heG#r scars or how she goGt them
as the tellFing signs of age rain down G#a single tear is dropping
through theC# valleys of an aging face tG#hat this world has foGrgotten


[Verse 2 (regular)]

there is noF reconciliation that will pG#ut me in my place
and there iC#s no time like the present G#to drink these drainiGng seconds
but seldom Fdo these words ring true whG#en I'm constantly failing you
walls that C#we just can't break throughG# until we disappear  G 


[Prechorus]

so tell me C#now
if this ain't loD#ve then how do we get ouC#t?
D# (strum once, let ring)
cause I don't know
that's when she said I don't hatFe you boy
I just want to saG#ve you while there's still something lefC#t to save
thG#at's when IG told her I lFove you girl
but I'm not the aG#nswer for the questions that you C#still have whoaG#-oh-oh-oh, Gwhoa oh-oh oh


[Instrumental Part]
F G#
C# G# G
and the dayF pressed on like crushing weights for nG#o man does it ever wait

like C#memories of dying days that G#deafen us like Ghurricanes

batFhed in flames we held the brandG# uncurled the fingers in your hand

prC#essed into the flesh like sandG# now do you Gunderstand?


[Prechorus]

so tell me C#now
if this ain't loD#ve then how do we get ouC#t?
D# (strum once, let ring)
cause I don't know
that's when she said I don't hatFe you boy
I just want to saG#ve you while there's still something lefC#t to save
thG#at's when IG told her I lFove you girl
but I'm not the aG#nswer for the questions that you C#still have whoaG#-oh-oh-oh, Gwhoa oh-oh oh
oFne thousand miles away there's notD#hing left to say
bA#ut so much left that IC# don't kD#now
wFe never had a choice D#this world is too much nA#oise
it takes me under C#it takes me undeD#r once again


[Instrumental & Bridge 2 (Arpeggiate this part)]

[Chorus (back to normal strumming)]

that's when she said I don't hatFe you boy
