[Am]
[C]
[Dm] [D]
So long, our lives entwined like [Am] a helix
[G] Don't know where I begin, where [Dm] you end
How long do we go on trying [Am] to finish?
I [C] just know, I just know that this [Dm] can't grow
I wrote this song to tell you [Am] I'm leaving
[G] I'm afraid to say these words to your [D] face
[Dm]
But you better than a letter, text or [Am] email
[Am]
[C] My rights cause here a feeling [D] of a lie
We stopped [Dm] time when [Am] we signed
In the year [Gm] of our [A] lord, 1999
[G]
With a [Bm] kiss, spitting out, spitting [Dm] out timelines
The only one with the love lies at the station [Am] around zero nine
[G] Two rejections to one life, forever [Dm] provoked like a landmine
I wrote this song to tell you [D] I'm [Am] leaving
[C] Afraid to say these words to [Dm] your face
But you better than a letter, text or [Am] email
[C] My rights cause here a feeling [Dm] of a lie
Every [D] kiss has lost its flavor
[A] I'm not proud of my behavior
[Gm] Bleached on raw, for that it was [Dm] life
About to escape, we'll depart [Am] in what was fresh
We took foreground [G] beneath desire
More than just [Dm] a friend
I wrote this song to say that [Am] I'm leaving
[C] Afraid to say these words to [Dm] your face
But you better than a letter, text or [Am] email
[C] My [D] rights cause here a [Dm] feeling of a lie
