Verse 1:
F                                       Am
Falling, falling, falling in unfamiliar space
            C                                       F
Cause I was drenched in you before I even knew your name
F                                          Am
Fading, fading, fading with the breath you take
         C                                   F
See your southern heart hiding behind a city face
 
Chorus:
C
Drowning out the fires
       F
As I'm lying here awake
      Am                 G
I can feel you slip away
                F
Like I knew you would
          C
Don't you leave me in this silence
           F
When you've seen all my mistakes
        Am                  G
Now I'm looking for escapes
              F
Like I knew I would
 
Verse 2:
F                                           Am
Stalling, stalling, stalling til I take the blame
        C                                        F
Yeah, I lied to you like a promisе on New Year's Day
    F                                        Am
You saw me, saw mе, saw me, I got nowhere to hide
          C                                     F
Yeah, the worst of me is racing all around your mind

C
Drowning out the fires

As I'm lying here awake
      Am                 G
I can feel you slip away
                F
Like I knew you would
          C
Don't you leave me in this silence
           F
When you've seen all my mistakes
        Am                  G
Now I'm looking for escapes
              F
Like I knew I would

I'll slip away, slip away, slip away

As I'm lying here awake
      Am                 G

Like I knew you would
          C
Don't you leave me in this silence

When you've seen all my mistakes
        Am                  G
