Verse 1

                            G      
Scent dripping down from our feet,
 C     G

                   C
Right beneath the piers where we 
were first to meet.
        D
And I caught you once, but you let 
me down twice.
    C
I don't know how.

               G
There was a place we would all go to
 sing.
       D
We'd gather 'round the old town 
church
    D
To hear those bells ring.
            C
I'll never forget those days --
                         G
When I was worthy of your love.

CHORUS

                 C            G
And I promise I won't make a sound
                    C              
'Cause I figure you no longer want 
     G
me around.
                     G          D
And I know that the days will pass
      Em7           D         
And soon, we'll be rid of these 
    C
things.
        D
So let soft words be spoken.

VERSE 2

                        G      C  
Crows flying out with old wings.
   G

                     C
Bitter breath with lungs that barely
 had the strength to sing.
       D
And I fought you once, but you let 
me win twice,
            C
I don't know why.

                  G
And there's a chapter that I keep on
 trying to read.
           D
But the pages stick and crumble 
where your fingers used to be.
             C
I'll never forget your hands,
                                 G 
'Cause they were always pushing me.
    C     G


CHORUS

And I promise I won't make a sound

'Cause I figure you no longer want 
     G
me around.
                     G          D
And I know that the days will pass
      Em7           D         
And soon, we'll be rid of these 
    C
things.
        D
So let brave words be spoken.

BRIDGE
               C      G     D     Em
But just let us grow.
 C                      G
Patience was lost in the sea.
            C      G      D      Em
Just don't go.
      D
And though this darkness will come,
     G
And my heart is in stormy weather,
       C
And the pain is all I have for now,
          D
And I'm homebound
