Album: A deeper understanding [Intro] G Em x3 [Verse 1]

G
Goin' out the way I always do

Em
Callin' out your name

D
Tryin' not to hate myself

     C
For gettin' in the middle

And shining every light upon it [Verse 2]

G                                            Em
Still I miss the way you’d hold me close in a cold wind

D
I caught you in our room staring at the light

I’d been up all night

        C
Is this life and we’re just living it?

[Bridge]

Am                  Em      D
Still I wanna celebrate our love

[Verse 3]

            G
I’ve been rollin' like a sixteen

I can die on the floor

        Em
I’ve been shackled and delivered

      D
There’s a girl out there with silence in her eyes

    C
Her truth is in the dark

[Bridge 2]

    D                   C
And I see you comin' in view

Bm
Yeah, I need you

           Am
I’m comin' in two

    G
In view

[Chorus]

C                  G  D     Em  C        G D
Ain’t no wind that I could feel in a fleetin' rain

C                  G  D
Turn around and rip my heart

           Em  C        G D
Then look at it and say how you broke away

C                  G  D     Em  C
Ain’t no way to elevate to another line

    G        D
With nowhere to go

C                   G     D
Ain’t no chains to hold you in

Em   C
To hold you to

G     D
To losing you

[Instrumental] G Em [Verse 4]

G
Hiding from an enemy

When something inside me died

Em
It’s hard to see real clear these days

With darkness on my mind

D
As I stare into the ocean floor

And I wonder where I once was

C
Was I fallin' through the air tonight

Then crumble into your arms?

G
Is this love?

Em
Are you sure?

      D              C
Is it something you can control?

G
I’m retired

    Em
I’m in chains

      D
I’m in love

        C
I’m in pain

[Verse 5]

G
All these changes everywhere

Just go ahead and take my hand

Em
Hold me close, now let me go

Try and understand

    D
I believe in all the power

In doing what we can do

       C
We can try and learn to make it through

Then come out the other side [Bridge 3]

         D                        C
I don’t see you at all comin' in view

Bm               Am
How do we decide what we can do?

       Bm
I don't read your mind

       Am
Gimme truth

G Em D C
