Intro: Dm - C 

verse 1 
Dm 
I walk so tired so opaque 
These words too many 
        C 
I can’t share our culture’s casualty 
                              Dm 
Can’t see the forest from the trees 
Dm  
We laughed at a time that came and went 
Colors boast from the east sky resting 
C              Bb    C 
Over nostalgia we retract 
    C                    Bb      C        Bb 
The now is ours but the then we can’t get back 


Bb            F            C       Bb 
And when the world comes crashing down 
Bb            F          C       Bb 
Don’t make a move don’t make a sound 
               F               C            Bb 
Just watch it fall, watch it come down and feel it as it goes 
         F               C 
Does it feel good to let go? 

verse 2 
Dm 
I lost myself along the way 
Restless nights mixed with purposeless days 
C                 Bb      C 
Counting forward, taking steps 
C                    Bb      C        Bb 
To a better man, the one you can live with 


Bb            F            C       Bb 
And when the world comes crashing down 
Bb            F          C       Bb 
Don’t make a move don’t make a sound 
               F               C            Bb 
Just watch it fall, watch it come down and feel it as it goes 
         F               C 
Does it feel good to let go? 

Bridge 
Dm 
Full of color 
All she’s made of 
                               C 
Melancholy waits to count her scars 

Dm 
Full of color 
All she’s made of 
                               C 
Melancholy waits to count her scars 


Bb            F            C       Bb 
And when the world comes crashing down 
Bb            F          C       Bb 
Don’t make a move don’t make a sound 
               F               C            Bb 
Just watch it fall, watch it come down and feel it as it goes 
         F               C 
Does it feel good to let go?
