[Verse 1]
C5     Cm        Cm11                    Cm
I have such envy for this stranger lying next to me

C5         Cm           Cm11                   Cm
Who awakes in the night and slips out into the pre-dawn light

C5             Cm              Cm11           Cm
With no words, a clean escape, no promises or messes made

C5                Cm    Cm11              C5
And chalks it all up to mistake, mistake, mistake
[Chorus]
    C            Cadd9       F/C      C
And there are no tears, just pity and fear

      C    C+     C     C6   C
And a vast ravine right in between
[Verse 2]
C5      Cm      Cm11                      Cm
A storm at sea, the bow cracked and I was capsizing

C5         Cm    Cm11                  Cm
And I sunk below where I swore I would never go

C5           Cm              Cm11           Cm
If you can't stand in place, you can't tell who's walking away

     C5     Cm        Cm11                  C5
From who remains, who stays, who stays, who stays
[Chorus]
    C            Cadd9       F/C      C
And there are no tears, just pity and fear

      C    C+     C     C6 C
And a vast ravine right in between

C        Cadd9       F/C      C
Spare no tears, just pity and fear

    C   C+       C    C6            C
And I recall the push more than the fall

    C+   C      Cadd11 C
The push more than the fall
[Outro] C+ C Cadd11 C C C6 Cadd9 C C+ C7 Cadd9 C C6 C+ Cadd11 C
