G A
So from your new plateau you writhe and wait,
G
For something real to shake your bones,
A
To turn you back into a person
Verse 2 e|----------------------------------| b|3---2---2---3---2---0---2h3p2h3p2-| g|2---2---2---4---2---0---2-2-2-2-2-| d|4---2---4---4---4---0---2h4p2h4p2-| a|----------------------------------| e|----------------------------------| You sublet the space, cut your costs, flipped off fate And watched while she packed, cried and cried, but no come back
G A
You figured you could sit around and wait,
G
For love this real to just pop up,
A
To fall from trees, to ride on rainstorms
Chorus
G D G Bm A
Convinced it was worth it, you swore it was worth it
G D A
You said it was worth it through the first hit
Em D Bm A
But back amongst the dirt and spent grass
Em D Bm A
The empty coffee cups, the green glass
Em D Bm A
The basement brokering and side bets
Em D Bm A
The puzzle pieces in the tool shed
G D
I think you can build it,
G Bm A
I think you can build it
G D A
I know you can build it cause I built it
G D G Bm A
Convinced it was worth it, you swore it was worth it
G D A
You said it was worth it through the first hit
G D
Back before you moved so fast
G Bm A
And traced your veins with splintered glass
G D A
Your lazy eyes aligned to find a purpose, a purpose
