Lyrics
(Eb)The go out and I (Bbm)can’t be saved, tides that I tried to (Fm7)swim a gainst.
Gon - (Eb)Have me down up (Bbm)on my knees, I oh, I beg, I (Fm7)beg and plead.
Sing ing; come out with (Bbm)things un said.
Shoot, an ap ple (Fm7)off my head.
And a trou ble that (Bbm)can’t be named.
A ti ger’s wait ing (Fm7)to be tamed.
Sing ing...
You

(Eb)Con fus ion and that (Bbm)nev er stops, clos ing I walls and (Fm7)tick ing clocks.
Gon - (Eb)Have come back and (Bbm)take you home, I could not stop that (Fm7)you now know.
Sing ing; come out up (Bbm)on my seas.
Cursed missed op por (Fm7)tu ni ties.
Am I a part that (Bbm)of the cure or am I part of (Fm7)the di sease?
