[Intro]
D#m F# B F# D#m F# B F#
[Verse]
D#m
Have you read the script?
F# B F#
Could you picture it?
B F#
... is it worth the risk?
D#m F#
Everything I love
B F#
Is on the line
B F#
On these neon signs
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m F#
But I need to know- when you looked away
B F# B F#
Was it something that I said? Was it something that I said?
D#m F# B F#
Well okay, okay, I need you more than I did before
B F#
Now that the concrete is nearly set
[Chorus]
D#m F# B F#
Here in the second act I'm living in repair
D#m F# B F#
Strange how the heart adapts when its pieces disappear
D#m F# B F#
And there, on page 28, I'm so tired of drying glue
D#m F# B F#
I begin my grand attempt at building something new
[Verse]
D#m F#
Though I tend to write
B F# B F#
The epiphany more immediately
D#m F#
I guess I'm trusting that there's such a thing
B F# B F#
As elegance in dissonance
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m F#
God, I'm skeptical of pulling scenes
B F# B F#
Was it something that I said? was it something that I did?
D#m F# B F#
Please don't get me wrong - I still need your help
B F#
As history repeats itself
[Chorus]
D#m F# B F#
Here in the aftermath, I'm pulling at the seams
D#m F# B F#
Strange how the heart adapts in the absence of routine
D#m F# B F#
And there, on page 29, I find "new" and make it mine
D#m F# B F#
But I can't help casting shadows on all I leave behind
[Bridge]
G#m D#m
Maybe I could afford to change a bit...
F#
Even let go of the reigns?
G#m D#m
Every torn out page was worth the risk
A#m C#
Now that the stakes have been raised
[Chorus]
D#m F# B F#
So here in the final draft, I've given all I have
D#m F# B F#
Strange how the heart expands in the absence of a plan
D#m F# B F#
There's nothing left on the page, but I'm okay with that
D#m F#
For I found my resolution
B F#
Was designed for stronger hands
D#m F# B F# D#m F# B F#
