Verse 1:
    Bbm7               Fm   Ab                    Gb
The way that you call, the way that you call out quietly,
Bbm7               Fm Ab                      Gb
What did you learn?   What did you learn from loving me?
   Bbm7               Fm Ab                     Gb
To move in the world, to move in the world more graciously,
     Ebm7                  Gb
Your promised return, your promised return ain’t much to me,

Verse 2:
    Bbm7             Fm  Ab                   Gb
But letting you down,    letting you down was hell to me,
    Bbm7             Fm  Ab               Gb
The colours of love, the colour of us was gold and green,
    Bbm7                 Fm  Ab                        Gb
The peace and the birds, the peace and the birds don’t visit me,
Ebm7                Gb
I was winning once, but that’s been and gone,
Bbm7                   Ab                     Ebm
I was playing with the fire that you made for me,
Ebm             Gb
What we running from?

Chorus:
                            Db                         Ebm
I couldn’t hold you for the last time and then let you go,
                Bbm                      Gb
Standing at the turnstile you looked so alone,
                       Db
Oh to be someone you rely on,
                   Ebm                      Gb
A hill that we can die on, wait up with the light on,
                               Db                       Ebm
Don’t wanna know this life without you, I’m not strong enough,
                        Bbm                       Gb
You turn and close your eyes cause you can’t even look,
                    Db
Losing someone to rely on,
                     Ebm                      Gb
A hill that we could die on, wait up with the light on.

Verse 3:
Bbm7            Ab                   Gb
Let me believe, let me believe we’ll last the night,
Bbm7                         Ab                 Gb
What do we need? Cause there ain’t much left to sacrifice,
    Bbm7             Ab                  Gb
But I gotta breathe, I better breathe to save my mind,
Ebm7            Gb
  I was winning once, but that’s been and gone,
Bbm7                   Ab                     Ebm
I was playing with the fire that you made for me,

Bridge:
Ebm
I’ll admit it once,
Gb                Ab
Then I’ll hold my tongue,
Bbm                    Ab                    Fm   Ebm
I was clutching at the dream that you’d stay with me,
                Gb                     Ab Bbm
And the truth beloved is you’ll always run,
                     Ab                 Ebm
Back and forth in my mind every day you breathe,
              Gb                    Ab  Bbm
I was winning once, but that’s been and gone,
                       Ab                      Ebm
I was playing with the fire that you made from me,
                   Gb
What we running from . . .?
