The Words You Read

Eb                 Bb
Back doors they’re never that easy
    Db                 Ab
And sure they budge but never for me
   Eb              Bb              Db        Ab
I’ve dug deep too deep to find my way out of this town
Eb                 Bb
In high school you never quite knew me
    Db                    Ab
I guess that means we’re not meant to be
  Eb                Bb
Where’d this go? I didn’t think so
Db             Ab             Bb
Sit back and watch how far we go


[Chorus]
Eb                    Ab
Did you find a way to compromise?
        Cm                    Ab
Did you fix your problems or forget to solve them?
Bb        Eb            Ab
And your memories are now the words you read
Cm
Times have changed, but not for me
  Ab                       Bb
Let’s just forget how I wrote your story

Gm D Eb

[Verse 2]
                    Bb
Hey you’re standing on a tightrope
Db               Ab                 Eb
Look down and know this is all she wrote

             Bb            Db
Hows it feel to be hanging on?
Ab
Letting go sounds good until you start to fall
Fm                       Ab          Eb
And I know we’re staying here to find
                           F
A simple song, a simple line
                 Ab          Eb
On a path that leads us blind
                                             Bb
Taking words of spite to turn them into rhymes

[Chorus]

         Eb               Ab
Did you find a way to compromise?
        Cm                    Ab
Did you fix your problems or forget to solve them?
Bb        Eb                   Ab
And your memories are now the words you read
Cm7                              C
Times have changed, but not for me
  Ab                       Bb
Let’s just forget how I wrote your story

[Bridge]

                             Cm
We played ball late in the park
        Bb                    Eb
You stayed still til’ after dark
        Bb                    Eb
I asked if we could stay the same
                                              Cm
The look in your eyes said you’d already changed

               Dm                        Eb
I stand for things that don’t stand for me
                 F                           Cm
But the harder I try the further that they seem
                Dm                   Eb
We all break through but you break me
                 F                          Eb
Let’s all sing along our story rests in piece
