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

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

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

   F                                        C 
Ruins, all the things we built assured that they would last 
    F                            C                       F 
Ending months ticket stubs, and written notes and photographs 
                  C                        F 
Where are you and here somewhere I cannot go 
    Am       Bb 
I'm 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
