(Before the he starts singing the first verse and it leads in with: B   Db)

Db                Ebm                  B
We get in our own way tripping on our feet

               Ebm                                   B
Filling up our heads too much with words too hard to speak

              Ebm                           B
Drowning in a place where the night cannot escape commit ourselves into the

Ebm                       B
depths exposed against a page

B                   Db                      B                        Db
Caught in a phrase an echo in our minds a flash a flood and it's burned into our eyes

B             Ebm     Db                  F#     B
and I can't explain enough and I won't let it last the night

              Ebm      Db             Ebm
I'll show you that the image is still there unseen

It's darkest before the light if we shut our eyes to see the things that we have

Db
lost inside the lines between

B                      Db                           Ebm                           F#
Between the black and white where everything goes grey and everything's unsaid

                                   B                    Db                         Ebm
undone and the negative bleeds away to reveal the memory that we've waited for so long for

                        F#
The image shifts and the acid drips down the paper to the floor

B                   Db                      B                        Db
Caught in a phrase an echo in our minds a flash a flood and it's burned into our eyes

and I can't explain enough and I won't let it last the night

I'll show you that the image is still there unseen

B            Ebm        Db           F#       B                           Ebm

We're so nervous to see if we've let too much in if we if we were out of focus or

B                       Ebm         Db           B               Ebm          Db
I know it's a moment of truth if a recollection reflects reality or if it's lost forever

B             Ebm     Db                  F#     B
and I can't explain enough and I won't let it last the night
