[Verse 1] It's not a [C#m7] silly little moment It's not the [Aadd9] storm before the [E] calm This is the [C#m7] deep and dying breath of This love that we've been [Aadd9] working [E] on
Can't seem to [C#m7] hold you like I want to So I can [Aadd9] feel you in my [E] arms Nobody's [C#m7] gonna come and save you We've pulled too many [Aadd9] false al [E] arms
