from the start
D

Somehow the scales just fell away
C 
D 
Em 
And I'm left standing here
Am 
Blown open in the hole
Dsus4 
D 
that was my part

I wrap the dark around me

There's no solace here tonight

photographs

Searching for a clue

How you and I got tangled from

Or stem the tides that pulled us far apart

I  couldn't give you

What you needed

For all the ways I strung us
C

both along
Eb

C 
They say it goes both ways and I suppose

I could concede it
Seems to matter more,
Gm 
Am 
C 
now that you're gone

G 
Am

And though it seems much kinder

Just to leave some things

myself apart
