[Verse 1]
C#m                      E
I saw you hiding in the ivy

F#m                            A
I know you're too afraid to call

C#m                                    E
They're getting ready for the winter here

  F#m                           A
They've gathered pyramids of salt

 C#m                            E
You saw them having trouble breathing

F#m                               A
I know you think that it's your fault

C#m                      E
I saw you hiding in the ivy

 F#m                       A
Keeping quiet through the fall
C#m E F#m A x2 [Verse 2]
 C#m                             E
There's a bird inside your rib cage

F#m                      A
He screams so I never forget

C#m                         E
I wanna break open your sternum

F#m                       A
I wanna rip him from his nest

 C#m                          E
And sow you back up like a garden

 F#m                         A
Growing flowers from your chest

  C#m                           E
There's a bird inside your rib cage

F#m                 A
I keep trying to forget
C#m [Chorus]
          A           E                 C#m              B
I drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands

          A           E                   C#m      B
I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again
[Verse 3]
C#m                      E
I saw you hiding in the ivy

  F#m                        A
Watched the night start to decay

 C#m                      E
And you wonder in the morning who's gonna drag

 F#m                 A
The sun out of the lake

 C#m                           E
You move gently off the sore spots

 D                      A
I can see that you're in pain

 C#m                                E
Everything left in the light here long enough

F#m                A
Is someday gonna fade
C#m [Chorus]
           A           E                 C#m             B
I drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands

           A           E                  C#m       B
I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again

           A           E                 C#m            B
I drew a line in the sand with these goddamn worthless hands

           A           E                 C#m        B
I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again
E [Bridge]
 E
We're so vacant

 A
These bodies

 E
Collapsing

 A
So gracefully

 E
And I love you

 A
And I'm sorry

 E
And I understand if you blame me

 A
And I'm helpless

 E
And you're drowning

 A                                    C#m     B
And I'm beating at the water here so desperately

C#m
So desperately
N.C. [Chorus]
           A           E                 C#m             B
I drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands

           A           E                  C#m       B
I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again

I drew a line in the sand with these goddamn worthless hands

           A           E                 C#m        B
I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again

   B                  C#m
Don't wash me away again
