Intro - C
(verse 1)
G F C
What took so long to build took a moment to slip away,
G F C
You could barely hide the satisfaction on your face,
Am
Time takes another day,
F Fsus F
Changes you in subtle ways,
Am F
Lifts you up then slowly lets you go,
(verse 2)
G F C
Sitting there across the room your smile looks like a threat,
G F C
Living underneath the heel of what you might do next,
Am
Memory works in strange ways,
F Fsus F
Cuts you down and makes you pay,
Am Em7
One day you'll be walking fine,
F G
The next day lightning hits you from behind,
Cadd9 G F
One heart, one love, two people who can't rise above,
Cadd9 G F
Each time we fall, don't know what I was thinking of,
Cadd9 F Cadd9 F
And don't say it's so, Don't say it's so,
Cadd9 G F
Oh let me be the last to know,
(verse 3)
Seems we move backwards now the further on we walk,
It's hard to find a single line through all our double talk,
Home late and drunk again,
Close the door, shut out the rain,
One more day no damage done,
My spirits falling, sinking like the sun
Cadd9 G F
One heart, one love, two people who can't rise above,
Cadd9 G F
Each time we fall, don't know what I was thinking of,
Cadd9 F Cadd9 F
And don't say it's so, Don't say it's so,
Cadd9 G F
Oh let me be the last to know,)

(verse 4)
Standing at your doorway I can hear your voice inside,
Telling all your friends what you're gonna say to me tonight,
Oh write me a better part,
Find the words to break your heart,
Keep you on your knees forever,
Funny how my tongue gets tied together,
Cadd9 G F
One heart, one love, two people who can't rise above,
Cadd9 G F
Each time we fall, don't know what I was thinking of,
Cadd9 F Cadd9 F
And don't say it's so, Don't say it's so,
Cadd9 G F
Oh let me be the last to know,
