[Intro]
Am Cmaj9/B C C
Am Cmaj9/B C C
[Verse 1]
Am Cmaj9/B C Go on stack the cinder blocks in a cold sweat Am Cmaj9/B C Build yourself a citadel amid the foothills of regret Am Cmaj9/B C And though you've convinced yourself, you're safe and sound within Am Cmaj9/B C The thing you fear the most never need get in
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Cmaj9/B C 'cause you'll miss the sun The warmth of another's embrace Am Cmaj9/B C You'll need room to run And something to chase Am Cmaj9/B C And that thing you fear will coax you out of that unholy place Am Cmaj9/B C As all you've ever wanted is an escape
[Chorus]
Am G Am G Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again Fmaj7 G C Are making liars out of honest men Am Cmaj9/B It's not something that you put to bed C Hang your head and just forget Am Cmaj9/B C No, love don't know how to rest Am Cmaj9/B C No, love don't know how to rest
[Instrumental]
Am G Am G Fmaj7 G C C
[Verse 2]
Am Cmaj9/B C Darling, when you've tired you will see Am Cmaj9/B C There is no safe place, no sanctuary Am Cmaj9/B C It's all just child's play, a game of hide and seek Am Cmaj9/B C Don't make it harder than it has to be
[Chorus]
Am G Am G Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again Fmaj7 G C Are making liars out of honest men Am Cmaj9/B It's not something that you put to bed C Hang your head and just forget Am Cmaj9/B C No, love don't know how to rest Am Cmaj9/B C No, love don't know how to rest
[Instrumental]
Am G Am G Fmaj7 G C C
[Verse 3]
Am Cmaj9/B C Here's the truest thing I've ever known Am Cmaj9/B C The heart is just a muscle with a rhythm all its own Am Cmaj9/B C It doesn't stop when you decide not to move on Am Cmaj9/B C The heart knows nothing of your love or of your loss Am Cmaj9/B C So life just keeps on ticking by Compelled by instinct to survive Am Cmaj9/B C And love's the only thing worth being alive for Am Cmaj9/B C And love's the only thing worth being alive for
[Chorus]
Am G Am G Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again Fmaj7 G C Are making liars out of honest men Am Cmaj9/B It's not something that you put to bed C Hang your head and just forget Am Cmaj9/B C No, love don't know how to rest Am Cmaj9/B C No, love don't know how to rest
