[Intro] G#m (x8) G#m Bmaj7 C#m G#m Emaj7 Bmaj7 C#m G#m (x2) [Verse]
G#m                       Bmaj7
Driving with the angel of death

  C#m               G#m
I pass by your old apartment

G#m                       Bmaj7
Sniffing up the pills you left

  C#m               G#m
Inside the limousine
[Pre-chorus]
C#m                      B
Nobody could tell me how far

                F#                G#m
You said "we'll stop to read each tea leaf"

C#m                      B
Nobody could tell me how long

     F#              G#m
Just pacing patiently
[Chorus]
        B                  F#      E
I arrive, in the form of a radical being

          B                   F#       E       G#m   Bmaj7
You arrive, but the story can never be told

      C#m           G#m
(It's harder now to hold you)
[Verse]
G#m                        Bmaj7
Sleeping with the angel of death

        C#m            G#m
I still find you in my shadow

G#m                       Bmaj7
Learning how the mirror reflects

  C#m               G#m
I lose myself in you
[Pre-chorus]
C#m                       B
I was told it wouldn't be long

          F#             G#m
"Life's a basket full of cravings"

C#m                      B
Better than the evil you know

   F#                G#m
Repeat yourself in me
[Chorus]
          B                     F#            E
You arrive, on the hood of your step father's Lincoln

            B                  F#         E
The surprise, and I couldn't remember the words

           G#m   G#m7/A# B                       F#         E
I'm on fire,               and the guilt's doing all of the thinking

         B                  F#        E                C#m  B  G#m  F#
I'm alive, but it isn't the same as before
[Bridge]
 C#m                      B
Slowly we become a single mold

                G#m                                 F#
Watching as my skin becomes your skin and starts to hold

                          C#m                            B
I was told that there's a wonder in the place our bodies go

                    G#m                                F#
Driving 'round the sins of both my lives will keep you cold

                         C#m                                   B
I deserve it, I've been stalling, I've been selfish, I've been wrong

           G#m                          F#
Finally I heard my name, the absolution called

                     C#m                                   B
Now I need it, now I crave the writing burned into the wall

                 G#m                            F#
Sitting in your hands to watch the ending of it all
[Chorus]
        B                   F#            E
I arrive, in the eyes of my grandfather's daughter

            B                  F#          E
In the light, but I couldn't remember your words

          G#m   G#m/A# B                         F#        E
I survived,              and the guilt's falling off me in pieces

         B                  F#        E
I'm alive, and it isn't the same as before
[Outro] G#m Bmaj7 C#m G#m (x4)
    G#m               Bmaj7               C#m      G#m
I thought this time I might just walk away from you

    G#m               Bmaj7                C#m     G#m
If I'm the thief and you're the proof, its pain to choose

               C#m                  G#m
It felt like a first, but it wasn't new

               C#m                     G#m      Bmaj7
It felt like a sin, it was more like a noose

     C#m           G#m      G#m      Bmaj7
It's harder now to hold ya

     C#m           G#m
It's harder now to hold ya

G#m               Bmaj7         C#m     G#m
I'm ashamed, lost my decree, it paid to lose

         G#m       Bmaj7            C#m         G#m
The first of sixty thousand hours obsessed with you

            C#m                    G#m
It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the truth

                C#m                  G#m   Bmaj7
I tried blaming me, ended up blaming you

     C#m           G#m      G#m      Bmaj7
It's harder now to hold ya

     C#m           G#m      G#m      Bmaj7
It's harder now to hold ya

     C#m           G#m      G#m      Bmaj7
It's harder now to hold ya

     C#m           G#m      G#m      Bmaj7
It's harder now to hold ya
