Album: A deeper understanding
 
CAPO 4
[Intro]
G Em x3
 
[Verse 1]
G
Goin' out the way I always do
Em
Callin' out your name
D
Tryin' not to hate myself
     C
For gettin' in the middle
And shining every light upon it
 
[Verse 2]
G                                            Em
Still I miss the way you’d hold me close in a cold wind
D
I caught you in our room staring at the light
I’d been up all night
        C
Is this life and we’re just living it?
 
[Bridge]
Am                  Em      D
Still I wanna celebrate our love
 
[Verse 3]
            G
I’ve been rollin' like a sixteen
I can die on the floor
        Em
I’ve been shackled and delivered
      D
There’s a girl out there with silence in her eyes
    C
Her truth is in the dark
 
[Bridge 2]
    D                   C
And I see you comin' in view
Bm
Yeah, I need you
           Am
I’m comin' in two
    G
In view
 
[Chorus]
C                  G  D     Em  C        G D
Ain’t no wind that I could feel in a fleetin' rain
C                  G  D
Turn around and rip my heart
           Em  C        G D
Then look at it and say how you broke away
C                  G  D     Em  C
Ain’t no way to elevate to another line
    G        D
With nowhere to go
C                   G     D
Ain’t no chains to hold you in
Em   C
To hold you to
G     D
To losing you
 
[Instrumental]
G Em
 
[Verse 4]
G
Hiding from an enemy
When something inside me died
Em
It’s hard to see real clear these days
With darkness on my mind
D
As I stare into the ocean floor
And I wonder where I once was
C
Was I fallin' through the air tonight
Then crumble into your arms?
 
G
Is this love?
Em
Are you sure?
      D              C
Is it something you can control?
G
I’m retired
    Em
I’m in chains
      D
I’m in love
        C
I’m in pain
 
[Verse 5]
G
All these changes everywhere
Just go ahead and take my hand
Em
Hold me close, now let me go
Try and understand
    D
I believe in all the power
In doing what we can do
       C
We can try and learn to make it through
Then come out the other side
 
[Bridge 3]
         D                        C
I don’t see you at all comin' in view
Bm               Am
How do we decide what we can do?
       Bm
I don't read your mind
       Am
Gimme truth
 
G Em D C
