Dm  C  Em  C
Dm  C  Em  C

[Verse 1]
Am                     C
    We started like children
                  F
    Lost in the building by the wall
Am                 C
    Hope lost to fear
                      F   
    And nothing was clear when lost it all

[Chorus]
Dm                    C
This is how, how we tried
Em                       C
This is where, where it died
Dm                    C
This is how, how we cried
Em                    C
Like the dogs left outside

[Verse 2]
Am                 C
    We were so cautious
                    F
    Guarding the locksets viciously
Am                 C
    I'm never breathing
                   F
    Tender like ribbons obviously

[Chorus]
Dm                    C
This is how, how we tried
Em                       C
This is where, where it died
Dm                    C
This is how, how we cried
Em                    C
Like the dogs left outside

[Instrumental]
Am  C  F  F
Am  C  F  F
Dm  C  Em  C
Dm  C  Em  C

[Verse 3]
Am            C
    I am too shy to cry
                  F
    You gave her one kind to provoke
Am              C
    Even with balance
                 F
    Losing the hope with you again

[Chorus]
Dm                    C
This is how, how we tried
Em                       C
This is where, where it died
Dm                    C
This is how, how we cried
Em                    C
Like the dogs left outside

[Verse 4]
Am                      C
    His words are like sharp knives
                F
    Reading on my rights every time
Am             C
    Crying to our son
                 F
    I was just so wrong every time

[Chorus]
Dm                    C
This is how, how we tried
Em                       C
This is where, where it died
Dm                    C
This is how, how we cried
Em                    C
Like the dogs left outside
