[Intro]
D G


[Verse 1]
       D                              G
Time revealed what's underneath your skin
                                    D
You only cared when the floor caved in
                                   G
You know that I, I'd look for a reason
                       G
But it just starts arguments I'm the
                             Em
candle when your lights burn out
G                               A
  Your assurance in the face of doubt


[Chorus 1]
                      D      G
You pull me like a ripcord ignored
       G
You're selfish until you need me
         D       G        G
more Now all our trust is gone
                          D
So if we fall through the ground
      G
right now The consequences still
               D       G
roll out Where all our trust is
G                         D  G
gone Seems strong to carry on


[Verse 2]
            D                      G
With what I said I tore into your skin
Mend your wounds while I stitch my lips
D
  It only hurts when the words sink in
G
  It only hurts when the words sink in
D                     G
Here we are again two corners different ends
            D                           G
Hope it's a season but it's likely permanent
G                                      Em
  I'm the candle when your lights burn out (oh)
        G                                A
I'm the shelter when your sky is falling down


[Chorus 2]
                      D      G
You pull me like a ripcord ignored
       G
You're selfish until you need me
         D       G        G
more Now all our trust is gone
                          D
So if we fall through the ground
      G
right now The consequences still
               D       G
roll out Where all our trust is
gone Seems strong to carry on

Em Bm G


[Bridge]
Em                          Bm
  You wear a mask when I'm around
                       G
You lit a fire that my night sweats
can't put out can't put out
Em                          Bm
  You wear a mask when I'm around
                       G
You lit a fire that my night sweats
can't put out Can't put it out
                  D G    D
I can't put it out   Now all
    G        A
our trust is gone


[Chorus 3/Outro]
                      D      G
You pull me like a ripcord ignored
  G
Secured I was hoping that you’d need
            D       G        G
me more Now all our trust is gone
                          D
So if we fall through the ground
      G       G
right now I’m okay with how things
          D          G   G
will turn out You’re gone so
      A              D  G D G D
seem strong and carry on
