[F#m] [A]
This is not an escape But I [F#m] don't know how to [D] hold someone [F#m] without
losing my grip
[A] You'll say I was bound to leave Since [F#m] I first stepped [D] across your border
[A] Since I crawled [F#m] into your skin Thought I heard you whisper [A] in the dark
That you knew [D] where the light would be [F#m] Thought I [E] saw your shape [A] against the black
Thought I [D] felt you moving beside me We are [E] not alone and [A] we are more alone [D] than
we've ever been So hurry [E] up and lose [A] me
Hurry up and find [F#m] me again
[A] [F#m]
So [A] I'll pass the lumber mills I'll [F#m] pass the coal mines and the parks [A] and
the dried up [F#m] oil fields I'll [D] pass the thousand [A] lonely pines that
bend their back [F#m] against the sun But [D] I'll mistake the [A] station birds for the
sound of [F#m] my phone rings Thought I [E] heard you whisper [A] in the dark
That you knew [D] where the light would be [F#m] Don't wait for [E] me to walk a [A] straight line
You can [D] only hold your breath so long We are [E] not alone and [A] we are more alone than
[D] we've ever been So hurry up [E] and lose [A] me
Hurry up and find [F#m] me again
I
[A] [F#m]
[A] am no less bound to you than [F#m] when I crossed into [D] your silence
When [A] I held you [F#m] solid but you [A] never liked it
When I played dead and [F#m] you wondered why [D] my love songs [A] are always the [F#m] grieving line
Why [D] I wander off [A] to search for my reflection [F#m] in
[D] Oh forget [F#m] I said love And [A] also don't forget I [D] said love
We are [E] not alone and we [A] are more alone than [D] we've ever been
So hurry up [E] and lose [A] me Hurry up and find [F#m] me again
