Those pristine days, I recall so fondly. E D A So few are trials when a life isn't lonely, and now if only. B F#m E D I'd never felt it, I'd never heard it. I know I loved you, did I even deserve it A B F#m when you returned it? There's no suspicion, no hesitation. E B Believing through the eyes of sore adoration
[Chorus] A F#m A F#m Witness and know Fracture and hurt A E A D Eyes in the fire Blink unrehearsed A B A F#m Shield like a house Closing it's doors A E A D Curved in the dark Rinses of yours F#m [Verse 2] B F#m E D Ashtray is crowded, bottle is empty. No music plays and nothing moves without drifting A B F#m into a memory. Busy apartment, no room for grieving. E D A Sink full of dishes and no trouble believing that you are leaving. B F#m E B Mid-sentence tremors, mind at it's weakest. One way of shaking off the thoughts that it sleeps with. [Chorus] A F#m A F#m Witness and know Fracture and hurt A E A D Eyes in the fire Blink unrehearsed A B A F#m Shield like a house Closing it's doors A E A D Curved in the dark Rinses of yours F#m [Synth Solo] B - F#m - E - D - A - E - D - B - - - [Verse 3] B F#m In walks the darkness I pitch without you. E D Asks me; "Do I realize what I'd done and who I'd done to?" A B F#m Indeed, I do know. It never leaves me, just visits less often. E D A It isn't gone and I won't feel it's grip soften without a coffin. B F#m E B Breathing beside me, feeling it's warmness, phantom affection gives a human performance. [Chorus] A F#m A F#m Witness and know Fracture and hurt A E A D Eyes in the fire Blink unrehearsed A B A F#m Shield like a house Closing it's doors A E A D Curved in the dark Rinses of yours [Outro] (A - D -) x8 A - F#m let F#m ring out and end ************************************ | x dead note ************************************
