Chords

[Intro] F [Verse 1]
F
I know the way he makes you hide

Dm
Even when the dose is fight or flight

        C
And the orbits wait for a perfect name

F
Clean all the webs he left behind

Am
And if you want, I can bury him out

Dm
By the salt of sea, in an empty grave

C
The past has a way of comin' clean

F
If I didn't know any better

C
I could have sworn you said
"There will come a day for his reckoning" [Chorus]
         Bb          Eb             Bb
It's the want of the weight when it crushed

            Eb               C
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place
[Verse 2]
F
One day you're gonna see

Dm                                       C
That everybody who claimed that you were loved have left

        F                      Am
Because one by one, they would disappear

         Dm                                 C
Claimin' all your wolves were symptoms of deceit

F
"Don't let your tongue slit your throat"

C
That's what they always said

C
This is one last chance that you gotta take
[Chorus]
         Bb          Eb             Bb
It's the want of the weight when it crushed

            Eb               C
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place

                Bb          Eb             Bb
No oh, it's the want of the weight when it crushed

            Eb               C
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place
[Verse 3]
F               Dm           C
Underneath your doubt laid a serpent's head

F               Am
Hissing his way out

         Dm
You were told (you were told) severed tongues (severed tongues)

      C
Can't fall onto their swords, because
You're the only voice that calls [Chorus]
         Bb          Eb             Bb
It's the want of the weight when it crushed

            Eb               C
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place

                Bb           Eb             Bb
Oh-oh, it's the want and the weight when it crushed

            Eb               C
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place
[Outro]
  Bb               Eb
I know it's almost over

        C
I'll be with you

                               Bb             Eb
Say you, say you will, say you will (I know)

        C
I'll be with you, I'll be with you

Bb       Eb        C
Say you, say you will
