Two Eight One Chords by Hotel Books

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I was standing on the corner between Main Street and [Em] Pine
And I thought I saw your [Am] ghost, but it was really just mine
So let me crawl on your skin for a minute, I promise I'll [D] leave when I learn [Em] what love is
I never meant to be [Am] the problem, but I also never thought I'd be your purpose
Cause these night terrors can't find me when I refuse to fall asleep
[G#] Cold breeze weakens [Em] my immune system as I continue to walk [Am] down the street
And I saw a vision of me walking, holding the hand of a beautiful child
The child had [C] your eyes and she also had my [Em] smile
And in that moment she was the [C] only girl I could love as much as you
[F] _ And the weakening [Am] reality of this measure began to [C] erode the hope I had of feeling alive
So I adopted complacency, the world took [Am] all of our dreams and let fear sit in
So the only way to drown it out was to not feel [C] anything
But I ask you, please save songs for me and my bride [F] to sing
For when we [Am] decide that the time is right, save songs [C] for me and my bride to sing
For when we decide to fall asleep, _ [Am] _ but until then I [Em] guess I'll just keep walking
_ _ _ _ [Am] _
[A] When I have nothing to think about, my mind either [C] wanders into remembering
How much I [F] love holding you tight, or some [Am] nights I just dive into a monologue
In my own mind, arguing through [G] theology
And when I felt completely [F] lonely, I ventured into [Em] a new part of life
[F] Saying to myself, _ [Am] _ we all worship a God who already taught us how to [G] die
And would he do it again [F] if he knew that I was going to be alive?
[Am] Because I get on my knees to feel closer to the sky
And I [G] take my many blessings and then I kiss them goodbye
Because I have this [E] habit of being [Em] selfish
[F] And blaming my shortcomings on just [Am] being a habit
But I love it [G] because it's convenient [Em] and I keep saying I'm going to change
But [F] until then I guess I'll just keep [Am] walking
_ _ _ [G] _
_ And I [Em] remember the moment I destroyed everything [F] I loved
Just to find out that I had no [Am] idea what love [A] was
_ [C] _
_ _ _ [Em] And the conformity [F] that came with materialistic [Am] ambitions
Reduced my heart to nothing [C] more than a target for the world's market of depression
[G] _ _ When no product is for luxury, [Em] but now just a [Am] cure for depression
[G] _
[A] I turn my back on her, hoping I can find a new solution
[G] _ And I keep walking and the wind picks up
And [E] I keep walking and I miss my love and I keep [G] walking
And I [A] keep asking, save songs [Em] for me and my bride to sing
[E] For when we decide [G] that the time is right
[D] Save songs for me and my [E] bride to sing for when we decide to fall asleep
[G] Because a gust of wind [A] knocks me off my feet
[E] But doesn't seem to affect [F#] a single man-made building
[G] I guess sometimes we're weaker than what we create
[E] So what does that say about our love and our [G] hate?
[A] Maybe nothing, _ [E] maybe everything, maybe I'm wrong
[G] Just save something for me
