Intro: Bm-D-G-A x2 G-A


Verse 1:
Bm(hold)
  Well this hurts me more
than I can stand to say
                   D
In just one sitting you
left the room so
        A
I could pray
Bm
  So I'll pace the
halls to see
If I could find a
hole in something
D
  Or maybe places
     A
to escape


Refrain 1:
Oh and everybody
G          A      Bm
knows this is the part
Of breaking down
   G  A      Bm
in anybody's arms
I'm reaching down and
G      A          Bm
hoping this one's ours
    A
God please let this take


Chorus 1:
         Bm
And then I fell into
D          G             A
pieces and she fell into me
        Bm             D
Saying "Play me a song It's been
                         G         A
too long since I've heard you sing"


Interlude: G-A-


Verse 2:
Bm(hold)
  And you got here
just in time
To let me know I was
worth saving
D
  It's nothing more than
        A
for the hearts
Bm
  Too proud to breathe
But I'm too scared to say
the things worth saying
D
  Who knew this trip
              A
would be this hard?


Refrain 2:
As I'm looking to the
 G     A          Bm
sky to count the stars
                G
I wonder if you see
     A         Bm
them where you are
I'm tied above my
G         A      Bm
knees and pray tomorrow
         A
grace no pay


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Chorus 2:
         Bm             D
And yeah we all fall to pieces
       G                 A
But at least you fell to me
              Bm
But this is a wrong way
D                            G A
Tell me goodnight and let it go


Bridge:
G 
I stand here and
A
you just pray
   Bm
My life will flee
And I'd say safe
(Repeat)


2nd voice: while singing Bridge
I'm a priset mess
That rapid changes
Just say don't rip away


(Repeat Refrain 1)


Chorus 3:
         Bm(silence)
And then I fell into
D 
pieces and she fell into me
        Bm             D
Saying "Play me a song It's been
                         G         A
too long since I've heard you sing"


(Repeat Chorus 1)
(Repeat Chorus 2)
