[Verse 1] D Bm G A I gave my hand for you to hold D Bm G A I gave my love that you went and sold D Bm G Exchanged our song for another D Bm G Can't blame this sad flame that once glowed like no other [Chorus] Em A How do you soften D Bm The thought of carrying coffins? Em A We were so alive D G Only to see us wither and die [Verse 2] D Bm G A You say you'd stand even if this would all fall D Bm G A You're yearning, yielded when you hit the wall D Bm G I shut your ears, tried to make you hear my call D Bm G But you were long gone, no hope in a sunless dawn [Chorus] Em A How do you soften D Bm The thought of carrying coffins? Em A We were so alive D Bm Em A Only to see us wither and die D Bm Em A Oh, why D G must soil run dry [Verse 3] Bm A And I never ever thought I'd hear these words be said D G Now I lay here in an unmade bed Bm A Empty stomach's unable to be fed D G Your ego swallowed you and from there you fled Bm A So far away D G Could not find your way back Bm A Walked down the path D G Where feet slipped through the cracks [Bridge] D Bm Where feet slipped through the cracks G Could not find your way back D Bm Where feet slipped through the cracks G Could not find your way back [Chorus] Em A How do you soften D Bm The thought of carrying coffins? Em A We were so alive D Bm Em A Only to see us wither and die D Bm Em A Oh, why D G must soil run dry
