Verse-

         C
Like a lit cigarette to your lips when it fit.
         Am7                                                       F
Like the lung to your heart that it loaths 'cause it wasn't always broke.
                                         C
Holding on so long for something that it loves.
         C
Like the hole in the yard that we dug so far.
         Am7                                                       F
When you left for so long and forgot 'cause the grass had grown so tall.
                                            C
Erasing all we thought and when I get close I fall.



Prechorus-

        Em               F
You say life has got you down.
         Em           F
A steady course we're breaking out.



Chorus-

C
   This isn't what you thought it was. I should have known this from the start.
Gadd4
   Like twenty miles of catacombs. And now you're with me in my heart.
F                                                C
   Looking on so far, saying "There, I've got you now."



Verse-
         C
It's the goals in your mind that you left behind.
         Am7                                            F
From the glass is a crutch on the path to always losing touch.
                                                  C
If you blur it just enough you might see what you want.
        C
Now the dirt from the yard blew away so far.
        Am7                                            F
Growing more each day 'til we saw it became a mountain range.
                                               C
And I just stared and blinked, wishing I could change.



Prechorus-
     Em               F
Say, life has got you down.
      Em             F
Set a course, you're breaking out.
         Em              F
Find the will to make it now.
  Em                F
Before our time runs out.

Outro-
C         Gadd4
Ohhh...   Ohhh...
                 F
Why'd you have to go?
                   C
And why'd I wait so long?
