Verse 1:
B C#m
lights out put my seat
back as far as it will go
E
casting shadows like statues
I'm right outside your window
C#m
there’s no such
thing as second chance
E
there’s no such thing
don’t bother to explain
Refrain:
A
you're so beautiful
B C#m E
did you hear a word I said?
A
you're so beautiful
B C#m E
I guess this is what I get

Chorus:
C#m
we trust and believe so easily
A
and words they speak we
B
seek security in one another
E G#
but there’s no way to cover this
C#m
and these tragic nights
A
and afternoons weak disaster
and I can still feel you
B
as if you were in the room
where does our story
G#
end? where does it start?
I buried you along with my heart
