Am  F  Am  F || Am..
Intro..         Into verse..

        F           Am    F              Am
Let it out, let it out.. Fill the empty space
        F               C                G   Am
So insecure.  Find the words and let it out
         F             Am     F                Am
Staring down, staring down.. Nothing comes to mind
           F               C          G    F
Find the place.  Turn the water into wine

                        Am     F
But I feel I'm getting nowhere
                       Em  G
And I'll never see the end
     
     C G           Am            F
So I wither.. And render myself helpless
  C    G        Am             F
I give in.. And everything is clear
  C    G          F                       Am
I breakdown.. And let the story guide me

         F           Am   F                 Am  
Turn it on, turn it on.. Let the feelings flow
            F              C                 G   Am
Close your eyes.  See the ones you used to know
      F        Am        F             Am
Open up, open up.. Don't struggle to relate
         F               C       G    F
Lure it out.. Help the memory escape

                         Am       F
Still this barrenness consumes me
                       Em  G
And I feel like giving up

     C G           Am            F
So I wither.. And render myself helpless
  C    G        Am             F
I give in.. And everything is clear
  C    G          F                     
I breakdown.. And let the story guide me
  C G           Am          F    Dm
I wither.. And give myself away

                         F
Like reflections on the page
     G                  F   G   Am..  F   G   Am...
The world's what you create

  F             G          Am
I drown in hesitation.. My words come crashing down
    F              C/E     Am
And all my best creations burn into the ground
    F                   G     C         C/B Am
The thought of starting over leaves me paralyzed
         F          C/E              G       
Tear it out again- Another one that got away

     C G           Am            F
So I wither.. And render myself helpless
  C    G        Am             F
I give in.. And everything is clear

     C G           Am            F
So I wither.. And render myself helpless
  C    G        Am             F
I give in.. And everything is clear
  C    G          F                     
I breakdown.. And let the story guide me
  C G           Am          F    Dm
I wither.. And give myself away

                         F
Like reflections on the page
     G                  Am  F  Am    
The world's what you create
     F                  Am  F  Am         
The world's what you create
        F           Am
Let it out, let it out
