[Verse 1]

              Am   (A2)Am                   (A2)
A submission so sweet  A silent pact sealed
 Am            C    (Cmaj7)C                  (Cmaj7)
And it was in its shade   That i buried myself
 C              Am  (A2) Am               (A2)
Trembling like a thief  Nothing concealed
 Am         C     (Cmaj7)C                  (Cmaj7)
Not my hideous shame    Not the angst i felt
 C         Am    (A2) Am                         (A2)
We are all weeping  'Cause we can't undo the lie
 Am         C (Cmaj7)C                        (Cmaj7)
Not with a word    Not with the blink of an eye
 C         Am    (A2)Am                        (A2)
We are all weeping  'Cause we can't break away
 Am          C       (Cmaj7)C                       (Cmaj7)  C
Not without getting hurt   Not without leading astray


[Chorus]

              Am              F
I'll state my case I won't go down
             Am                         F
You've lost your face Now you're after mine
               Am
Are you turning time
      F             Am
Over to lies? Over to lies
             F
Swear never to frown
                  Am      F
Upon the things we left behind
 Am
Now and again These walls are shaking
 F
Now and again These walls are breaking
 Am                                      F
Now and again These walls are breaking us in two


 Am  Cmaj7  Em


[Verse 2]

Em                      Am
We are waving stealthy goodbyes
    Cmaj7           Em
For we know we have failed you
                           Am
You would not ever break the ties
   Cmaj7       Em
Nor the code, now, would you?


[Chorus]

             Am               F
I'll rest my case I won't go down
             Am                              F
You've lost your face Now you're turning on mine
               Am
Are you handing time
      F             Am
Over to lies? Over to lies
             F
Swear never to drown
               Am               F
The things we love They're all gone
                    Am     F
For we left those things behind
 Am
Would you embrace what is left to me?
 F
Ever embrace what is left to be?
 Am                                   F
Would you embrace what is left of me now?
