[Verse 1]
N.C.              C#m                 B
I've been feeling lower than low with you

                       C#m                     B
The highs are high but nothing that hurt can't do

     C#m                   B 
What breaking a heart must prove

       C#m           B
So you must need the pain

        C#m             B
If your heart needs the pain

C#m                    B         C#m
What would a heart yet do if not lose

C#m
If only one

C#m
Surrender at night

C#m
If only one

[Chorus] A E (Fill 1) I've been saying goodbye forever A E (Fill 1) If you can recall when you'd fix and hold my gaze A E (Fill 1) And our lies were hard yet clever A F#m (Fill 2) And this life was sweet and not pain [Verse 2]

[Chorus] A E (Fill 1) I've been saying goodbye forever
                       A
For a sign once gifted me
E (Fill 1) A search that was my bliss A E (Fill 1) Of these lies that save pretenders
         A
And this life
E (Fill 1) This light wasted as grace A E (Fill 1) Well as long as I delivered
                             A
When the walls were thin and spare
E (Fill 1) And you'd fix and hold my gaze A E (Fill 1) That's when our lies were hard yet clever
        A                F#m
And our life was not the same
