[Verse]

Em                                  Am
We made ourselves a home out of our dreams
Em                                  Am
Brought with us this love now bittersweet
    C             D                Em
And maybe I could say now that I always thought of you
           C                D                  Em
How you've run to walk with me your whole life through


[Chorus]

Am    Bm         Em          A
And I know we go deeper than skin
                 C
But what lies within
         Bm             Em  D/F# G
Is still deeper than we know
Am      Bm            Em  A
And for all this pantomime
C          Bm                Em D/F# G
You should see the state I'm in
Am         Bm               Em     A
I couldn't heal myself with time alone
C          Bm             Em
I have you tattooed on my skin


[Verse 2]

Em                                    Am
This house is full of stories we both told
Em                                           Am
These rooms, their very stage where they'd unfold
      C                   D          Em
These walls, they whisper secrets and memories thereof
         C              D                Em
But this door no longer leads us to that love


[Chorus 2]

Am     Bm         Em          A
Yeah I know we go deeper than skin
                 C
But what lies within
         Bm             Em  D/F# G
Is still deeper than we know
Am      Bm            Em  A
And for all this pantomime
C          Bm                Em D/F# G
You should see the state I'm in
Am         Bm               Em     A
I couldn't heal myself with time alone
C          Bm             Em
I have you tattooed on my skin


[Bridge]

C          D             Em
All I ever wanted was to hold you
           C
What can I do now to make things new
D                 D#dim            Em
I ain't trying to write you into a song
                  C                       Am
'Cause you're too sacred and I would feel wrong
         D/F#
But what irony life holds
Em            C                     D
I was finally ready to meet you halfway
    D#dim              Am Bm Em A C Bm D/F# G
You turned and walked away


[Chorus 3]


Am      Bm            Em  A
And for all this pantomime
C          Bm                Em D/F# G
You should see the state I'm in
Am         Bm               Em     A
I couldn't heal myself with time alone
C          D              C  D
I have you tattooed on my skin

Am Bm C D Em D/F# G

Am         Bm               Em     A
I couldn't heal myself with time alone
C          Bm             Em   Am Em Am
I have you tattooed on my skin
