   F#m               Fm

G|------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------|
A|---0-7-5-4-0-4-0-------4-2-0-0------|
D|-4-----------------3-6---------6-6--|[2x]

F#m         Fm
Fight these eyes
        F#m            Fm (break)
They're drawing you, inside.


Verse 1:
F#m
  Sign the name in marker, 
D
Watch the clouds as they got darker.
E                   D     E   (Fm)
   Felt it start to slip away.
F#m
All the schemes were made and plotted, 
A
All the rules have been forgotten now.
E                  D          E
  I made it by the skin of my teeth again this time.


Refrain:
F#m           A
  I'm waiting, still waiting, 
   D
To get away and make a change, 
A               E/Abm
Seasons last forever in this phase.


Chorus:
F#m (break)    D
   Forget your heart.
                  A
It's weighing you down inside, 
                    E
As you confide your life to someone else.
E-Fm-F#m            D
        Maybe we're scared to be alone, 
             A
We're not prepared to throw the stones, 
               E                   D
And watch them drift out of our control.


Verse 2:
F#m                          
   I braced my body for the
D
sudden impact that was more than I 
E                    D        E  (Fm)
   ever thought that it would be.
F#m
   And when it knocked me over, 
     A                                  E
I've never felt more stiff than sober now.
                       D     E/Fm
I'm struggling to get up and run away.


Refrain 2:
F#m           A
  I've wasted, I've wasted
   D
my life away. I've gotta change, 
     A              E/Abm
I've gotta burn the book and turn the page.


Chorus:
F#m (break)    D
   Forget your heart.
                  A
It's weighing you down inside, 
                    E
As you confide your life to someone else.
E-Fm-F#m            D
        Maybe we're scared to be alone, 
             A
We're not prepared to throw the stones, 
               E                   D       
And watch them drift out of our control.


Post-chorus:
D
  There's no return,
E             F#m
  To what you had when you started,
A                     Bm
Before you lost control.
         D
You will never recover.

And watch them drift out of our control.
