C                      Am 
Arms once bent towards me, 
F                  C G 
now caught in hesitation 
C            Am 
Legs once dancing, 
F            C  G 
now wandering in place 
Am    Bm   C   Am  G 
Words once promising, 
C       Am      Em 
to do, to have, to hold 
Am    Bm   C   Am  G 
What's worth saving, 
        C           Am   Em 
just to watch each other drown 
G 
Am I wrong? 

C 
Oh here we are, here we are, here we are, dear 
       Am 
Are we near to the end, saving our breath? 
    F 
Our histories bound, cold to our chest 
 C                      G 
Did I fail you? Did I fail love? 
C 
Here I am stealing the heat from your back 
Am 
Still tracing the wall where your shadow was cast 
     F 
With every voice whispering to us, 
         C              G 
"It's not lost! It's not lost!" 

           C           Am 
I tried to love you in disguise 
           F               C G 
I built an altar to your silence 
  C                     Am 
I meant to undraw every line 
F                          C G 
Wore your loneliness so fondly 
Am             Bm  C   Am     G 
Could you keep the restless still? 
           C        Am        Em 
The future stuck inside your throat 
Am     Bm     C   Am G 
What's worth letting go? 
              C        F   Am  Em     G 
I can't tell selfishness from love anymore 

C 
Oh here we are, here we are, here we are, dear 
       Am 
Are we near to the end, straining to hold 
C     F                                  C 
This ghost of a thing, alien being that was once love? 
             G 
Is it still love? 
 C 
And here I am stealing the cloth from your back 
       Am 
Still pulling out every thread for a song 
    F 
And maybe I'll stay, or maybe I'll hear 
    C              G 
The tiniest voice whispering to me 
   C              Am            F 

"Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!"
