Intro 1

Verse 1
A 
The
world slows down,
Bm 
you check your watch
D 
and pretend you're fine.
A 
Bm 
Your mind speeds up,
D 
you tell yourself it's just a matter of time
A 
Bm 
With the turn of a knob,
D 
everything you know turns upside down
A 
Bm 
The best laid plans fall to pieces
D 
as they shatter on the ground
F#m 
Your heart is slowly sinking
A 
Like an anchor
D 
Or a casket
Bm 
F#m 
Or a plane that's lost its wings
A 
You struggle for some reason
D 
Bm 
But your mind can't grasp a single thing
A 
Bm 
D 
Sitting with a stranger in the room
A 
Bm 
D 
It's like sitting with a stranger
A 
Bm 
First comes fear, the anger,
D 
then the what the hell
A 
You laugh through tears
Bm 
and take a snapshot
D 
of the things you used to
know so well
F#m 
The fight is slowly changing,
A 
like it's dying
D 
Or not living,
Bm 
F#m 
but you simply soldier on
A 
Looking for the linings,
Bm 
made of fool's gold
D 
B 
But your judgement's all but gone
D 
No one can love the life they have
Till they nearly lose it all
B 
Bm 
D 
And no one should ever stand alone
A 
D 
When they fall
A 
Bm 
D 
Like sitting with a  stranger
A 
Bm 
It's like sitting with a stranger
D 
In the room
A 
Like dancing with an elephant
Bm 
Or sleeping in the graveyard
D 
Is it time to leave this life so soon?
A 
Bm 
It's like laughing with a stranger
D 
Dancing with an old friend
A 
Taking flowers to the graveyard
Bm 
D 
I think I'm ready to restore
