[Intro]
Ab Bbm Gb Db
[Verse 1]
Ab Bbm
It hurts to turn the radio on
Gb
Stamina's gone
Db
My spirit is weak
Ab Bbm
Because every time I start to move on
Gb
Keep hearing that song
Db
I'm brought to my knees
Ab Bbm
To permanently see in reverse
Gb Db
Take the remorse out of defeat
Ab Bbm
Because everything that's under my skin
Gb
Where I end and begin
Db
Still belongs to me
[Instrumental]
Ab Bbm Gb Db
[Verse 2]
Ab Bbm
I'm fine to sit and stare at the door
Gb
Can't run anymore
Db
Too weary to stand
Ab Bbm
Abandon the effect with the cause
Gb
My life is on pause
Db
It's out of my hands
Ab Bbm
To perfectly perform in reverse
Gb
There's no way to rehearse
Db
There's nothing to plan
Ab Bbm
Because everything that's under my skin
Gb
Where I end and begin
Db
That's who I am
[Refrain 1]

Oh, only silence can restore
Ab Bbm Gb Db
The sense of place I had before

Oh, only silence can repair

My sense of self I lost somewhere

Because the last time I let myself feel this way
Gb Db
It was a long, long time ago
Ab Bbm
And now we get so scared, and we get so scared
Gb Db
To be nowhere left alone
Ab Bbm
Because the last time I let myself feel this way
Gb Db
It was a long, long time ago
Ab Bbm
And now we get so scared, and we get so scared
Gb Db
To be nowhere left alone
[Refrain 2]
Ab Bbm
Because it's now or never now

It's now or never now, now, now
