Verse 
C       D 
I sit & hide 
               Em 
In this empty shell of mine 
 C              D 
Cracking by the fire 
         Em 
Bound by you 

Verse 
C         D 
And only time 
C                   D 
Will make me understand 
C               D               Em 
Why there's so few like you and me 

 
Bb          C 
Tonight I cried 
         Em 
For the first time 
Bb            C 
How weak you are 
    Em 
Not too shine 
        Bb 
And as I fall into these empty arms 
      C                            Em 
As I fall into these empty arms of you 
 Bb 
Lost within this space 
        C               Em 
Only by what I think I know

It's not too late 
   C              D 
To face all your fears 
C               D 
The winds are calling the rain 
            Em 
The rain is coming down 
C        D 
Fly with me 
C                        D 
Won't you get high with me 
 C 
Cause my mind is broken by 
       D                 Em 
The unrequited sound of you 

 
Bb         C 
Tonight I cried 
Em 
For the first time 
Bb            C 
How weak you are 
Em 
Not too shine 
Bb 
And as I fall into these empty arms 
C                                       Em 
And as I fall into these empty arms of you

Lost within this space

Only by what I think I know

I know
