Intro: Am7 

Verse 1:
 
F               Dm                 Am 
  Paint another picture black and blue 
F               Dm             Am 
  Take another moment, one or two 
Am           F 
Just to get over you 

F                  Dm             Am 
  When did all the gold around us rust? 
F                 Dm             Am 
  Turning all the love we had to dust 
Am          F 
It took the best of you 
            F 
It took the best of you 

 
    F                   C 
Oh, I've got nowhere to hide 
               G 
And say my goodbye to the girl 
F                    Am 
  I'm leaning on the edge 
                    G 
And jumping off the ledge 

Verse 2: 

F              Dm              Am 
  Take another picture off the wall 
F              Dm               Am 
  Just another moment, watch it fall 
Am        F 
Into the ocean blue 
F                Dm               Am 
  Take a look at where we used to be 
F                Dm              Am 
  Now I'm just a vessel lost at sea 
Am          F 
I can't get over you 
              F 
I don't know what to do 


    F                   C 
Oh, I've got nowhere to hide 
               G 
And say my goodbye to the girl 
F                    Am 
  I'm leaning on the edge 
                    G 
And jumping off the ledge 
             Am                G            F 
Watching the night do what the light never could 
                C 
So tell me I'm crazy 
                G 
It's not gonna save me 
                 Am             G 
From holding my breath till the lines blur 
        F                   C 
'Cause, I've got nowhere to hide 
               G 
And say my goodbye to the girl 
                   F 
Oh, goodbye to the girl

  Take another moment, one or two 

 
    F                   C 
Oh, I've got nowhere to hide 
               G 
And say my goodbye to the girl 
F                    Am 
  I'm leaning on the edge 
                    G 
And jumping off the ledge 
             Am                G            F 
Watching the night do what the light never could 
                C

'Cause, I've got nowhere to hide 
               G 
And say my goodbye to the girl
