D                A 
  Tainted memories,  
               G                    A 
all I have to live with now you're gone. 
D                       A 
  And I won't sleep tonight, 
                      G                          A 
no, I won't dream at all about days I've spent alone. 

Em                                              G 
 And the words cut like a knife back when you said those words to me. 
         Bm                           A 
I spent many days rebuilding broken bones. 
        Em                                       G  
And our ghosts live in the hallway, where they play inside my mind, 
          Bm                                 A 
and they lead me down the roads we used to go, woah.  



G                   D 
 So don't hold me darling, 
            Bm                     A                 G 
I see the time go round when it's all been said and done, 
                       D      A  Bm 
I don't think you're lying, alone. 
G                      D 
 And my head keeps spinning, 
          Bm                              A               G 
at the thought of the past with these memories built of stone, 
                       D      A   Bm  G 
I don't think you're lying, alone. 



        Bm 
So run home, 
                             A 
hide yourself beneath your sheets and lay alone, 
             G                                        A 
or quiver inside and hear the walls fall down as we break all we used to know. 
            Bm                               A 
I can't wait here any longer, the ground is waiting to eat me whole, 
                G 
you weren't the one who needed saviour, 
            A 
turns out it was me all along.  



G                   D 
 So don't hold me darling, 
            Bm                     A                 G 
I see the time go round when it's all ben said and done, 
                       D      A   Bm 
I don't think you're lying, alone. 
G                      D 
 And my head keeps spinning, 
          Bm                              A               G 
at the thought of the past with these memories built of stone, 
                       D      A   Bm 
I don't think you're lying, alone. 


             G       D             Bm       A 
When are we waking up? When are we waking up? 
             G       D             Bm          A 
When are we waking up? When are we waking up alone? 
             G       D             Bm       A 
When are we waking up? When are we waking up? 
             G       D             Bm          A 
When are we waking up? When are we waking up alone?
