Intro - C
(verse 1)
GFC
What took so long to build took a moment to slip away,
GFC
You could barely hide the satisfaction on your face,
Am
Time takes another day,
FFsusF
Changes you in subtle ways,
AmF
Lifts you up then slowly lets you go,
(verse 2)
GFC
Sitting there across the room your smile looks like a threat,
GFC
Living underneath the heel of what you might do next,
Am
Memory works in strange ways,
FFsusF
Cuts you down and makes you pay,
AmEm7
One day you'll be walking fine,
FG
The next day lightning hits you from behind,
Cadd9GF
One heart, one love, two people who can't rise above,
Cadd9GF
Each time we fall, don't know what I was thinking of,
Cadd9FCadd9F
And don't say it's so, Don't say it's so,
Cadd9GF
Oh let me be the last to know,
(verse 3)
Seems we move backwards now the further on we walk,
It's hard to find a single line through all our double talk,
Home late and drunk again,
Close the door, shut out the rain,
One more day no damage done,
My spirits falling, sinking like the sun
Cadd9GF
One heart, one love, two people who can't rise above,
Cadd9GF
Each time we fall, don't know what I was thinking of,
Cadd9FCadd9F
And don't say it's so, Don't say it's so,
Cadd9GF
Oh let me be the last to know,)

(verse 4)
Standing at your doorway I can hear your voice inside,
Telling all your friends what you're gonna say to me tonight,
Oh write me a better part,
Find the words to break your heart,
Keep you on your knees forever,
Funny how my tongue gets tied together,
Cadd9GF
One heart, one love, two people who can't rise above,
Cadd9GF
Each time we fall, don't know what I was thinking of,
Cadd9FCadd9F
And don't say it's so, Don't say it's so,
Cadd9GF
Oh let me be the last to know,
