Am
the well went dry
C G
the blood thinned out
Am
I scrapped through
F
a thousand layers
C G
of paint-like years
Am F
the secret's in
C G
congested grins
Am F C G
I....I'm trying to find places to breathe now
[Chorus]
C F
and if this were a book
C F
I'd call this song the final chapter
Am Em
and if you read it
F
you'd be laughin'
C G Am
if it could end right now
C G Am
the last lines would be
[Verse]
Am F
my body jolted in
C G
and out of stolen sound waves
Am F C
the world expands or shrinks
G
on any given Monday
Am F C G
Tuesday evening dyes a room blue
Am F C G
Friday's window has its own view
[Chorus]
C F
and if this were a book
C F
I'd call this song the final chapter
Am Em
and if you read it
F
you'd be laughin'
C G Am
if it could end right now
C G Am
the last lines would be
[Refrain]
C G Am
good friend, how loud do
F
you want life
C
to shout her
G Am F
answers in your ear
[Verse]
Am F
streetlights are streaming by on stiff necks
Am F
connected blurs brand the design of things
C Dm
keep on counting them
F
Or maybe hold your breath
C Dm F
I'm trying to exhale you softly
C Dm
don't be so vain
F
I'm not impressed in past-tense
C Dm F
.....I don't do impressions
[Bridge]
C G F
.....the blood has dried (good friend, how loud do)
C G F
now I can wash my hands with tears you cried (you want life to shout her)
Am G F
if you could frame this feeling (good friend, how loud do)
Am G F
.....at night it would whisper to me
[Refrain]
C G Am
good friend, how loud do
F
you want life
C
to shout her
G Am F
answers in your ear
C G Am
good friend, how loud do
F
you want life
C
to shout her
G F Em
answers in your ear
