Verse 1:
   C
We drove through the rain
         F         G
past the evergreen trees
       F                    G
and we rolled just like the water
          G            F
along the veins of its leaves
       C
and we traced our memories
         F          G
into the shape of a map
           F            G
inside the palms of our hands
            G         F
bearing the secrets unkept


Chorus 1:
    G
and i dont think i could
               F
ever feel this way again
              C
you should be an actress
                G
because your so good at lying
    G
you bring my to my feet and
         F
then you leave me here crying
          C
if the feelings are gone
     G(hold)            C
then what am i left with
     F                  C
then what am i left with
     G         F        C——F——C—Em—G—F
then what am i left with


Verse 2:
    C
its true that we're young
            F          G
but love is said to be ageless
    F               G
the same is said of pain
      G          F
and desire and depression
         C
would it make it easier
     F        G
if i made you hate me
  F                  G
i only wanna see you happy
  G                   F
i only wanna see you smile


Chorus 2:
     G
i'll take these pills and shove them
        F
down my throat to keep the words
 C                  G
"i love you" from escaping my
                 G
lips to keep me sleeping
            F
and keep me quiet still
 C
"i love you" is the
G(hold)
only thing i know for sure

you've built up in our
F            C
lives as the barrier breaks
