Cm      Cm/A            Cm/G 
waiting in the pressure room 
Cm        Cm/A           Cm/G 
watch the floor begin to crack 
Cm        Cm/A               Cm/G 
check the time and hold your breath 
Cm        Cm/A              Cm/G 
shake the witches from your back 
Cm            Cm/A         Cm/G 
but you won't break as you bend 
Cm            Cm/A            Cm/G 
you hold your grace until the end 
 
D       A                Em     G 
all the better things we made 
D     A                Em       G 
every little change of shade 
D     A                Em        
maybe it's designed to fade 
    G      D     A   Em    
but i feel loved... again 
 
Cm       Cm/A          Cm/G

they don't offer guarantees 
Cm          Cm/A              Cm/G 
but we just want something to mean something 
Cm      Cm/A       Cm/G 
for once, just for once 
 
D       A                Em     G 
all the better things we made 
D     A                Em       G 
every little change of shade 
D     A                Em        
maybe it's designed to fade 
    G      D     A   Em    
but i feel loved... again 
    G      D     A   Em    
but i feel loved... again
