verse 1 
C                                          Am 
The outline's drawn, only colour's left to fade, 
                    F                            G 
We need to fix the frame, to hang it on the wall again.  
C                                            Am 
The corner's torn and the blacks are turning grey, 
                          F                          G 
All the shading's rubbed away and the canvas slowly frays.  

Bridge: 
F          G   Em      Am   G 
Too much time, wasted fighting.  
F          G    Em         Am   G 
All this time, we've been sliding... 
F        G Em       Am F    G 
Backwards, backwards, back.  


         F 
We got time tonight,  
                   Em 
Set the hands on fire, 
          Am 
Watch the room ignite, 
          G 
Spend the night just killing time.  
      F 
Don't decide tonight, 
                   Em 
We'll just start a fire, 
          Am 
Watch it light the sky, 
               G 
Just spend the night killing time.  

verse 2: (Same chords as verse 1) 
Every brush has got a broken end, 
For all the time it's spent, I'm done with trying to mend.  
Amongst the dust I search to find a pen, 
Don't wanna start it all again, just wanna make what we intend.  

Bridge: 
F         G     Em      Am  G 
Too much time, wasted fighting.  
F         G      Em        Am    G 
All this time, we've been sliding... 
F      G    Em     Am  F   G 
Backwards, backwards, back.
