Dam Would Break

Am            Dm                 
   Is it this place that makes me
        G                         Am
 fall from you
Am                Dm              
   Forget the words that once rang
G                             Am
 so true
Am            Dm         G      
Did we expect that life was ever
            Am
 fair, my god
Am             Dm                
I sowed a field of rose and 
       G
reaped a whipping rod

F                                 
And everything I've held too tight
               G
 inside
Em
Could make a part of me die
F                                 
And if my lips could only speak 
         G
the name
Em
The dam would break

Continues after the ad
Am Dm G (x2)

Am            Dm         G      
  What is this ice that gathers 
round my heart
Am

Am               Dm              
  To stop the flood of warmth 
        G                          
before it even starts
 Am

Am                          Dm   
It would make me blind to what I 
                G                  
thought would always be
Am

Am            Dm         G
The only constant in the world for 
me

F                                 
And every hour of every day I need
        G
 to
Em
fight from pulling away
F                                 
And if my mind could only loose 
            G
the chain
Em
The dam would break

Am                                
For all the things I hid away
  G        Em

Am                                
And all the words I could not say
  G

Em
The dam would break
