[Verse]
  F                         
Today, I climbed the highest 
                 C
mountain I have ever climbed
      F                            
And I turned to look at ruins I had
 C
 left behind
    F                      C  
And you, where were you so far, 
                       F
removed from any truth
  Am               Bb
I lost you, didn't I?
                           F
But first I think I lost myself

    F                              
Children, then and forever locked 
    C
in a memory
   F                             
Holding that mirror searching for 
              C
some kind of certainty
     F                        
That you were just the same as 
 C                         F
everyone but you were wrong
       Am                Bb
And it hurt you, didn't it?
                 F
All you couldn't be

[Verse]
  F                               
I tried to hold onto some kind of 
C
dignity
    F                              
Too long, I waded through a vast 
  C
and endless sea
    F                     C    
Thinking I could find the secret 
             F
there within
      Am              Bb
But I gave up, didn't I?
                F
Seemed the only way

  F                           
Ruins, all the things we built 
              C
assured that they would last
    F                             
Standing amongst ticket stubs and 
C                           F
written notes and photographs
                 C               
Where are you in here somewhere I 
         F
cannot go
     Am       Bb
I am sorry, I am
                   F
But I don't take it back


[Bridge]
    Bb             F              
And in the night I hear your voice
     Bb                   F
 sometimes but it quickly passes
   Bb                F            
In dreams I saw what I had thought
       Bb              C
 could be some kind of answer
    Bb
You try and try and try until you 
cannot try no more
F
Captured in our own
