Verse 1:
D
There's nothing here but the distance
Bm
There's nothing here but the mess
G
If you'd had shut up you would've heard it
D
You could have put it to rest
D
I'm swelling and eager
Bm
I am the raging sea
G
I've had it up to here now
D
I'm so tired of you needs
Chorus:
Bm G D
And how does it feel to be on the fault line
Bm G D
And how do we heal now we're on the decline
Bm G D
Coz it's a hell of a long way to fall just to learn to get up
Bm G D
And I'm not gonna forgive you for all of the things that you've done
Verse 2:
D
There's nothing here but a difference
Bm
There's nothing here but the stress
G
These walls are stained with your moments
D
Something you wanna confess
D
You're at the point of attachment
Bm
All the things you believe
G D
There's nothing left in this place but a reason to leave
Chorus:
Bm G D
And how does it feel to be on the fault line
Bm G D
And how do we heal now we're on the decline
Bm G D
Coz it's a hell of a long way to fall just to learn to get up
Bm G D
And I'm not gonna forgive you for all of the things that you've done

And how does it feel to be on the fault line
Bm G D
And how do we heal now we're on the decline
Bm G D A
Coz it's a hell of a long way to fall just to learn to get up
Bm G
And I just can't forgive you I just can't forgive you
Bm G D
I know that feeling, I know you believe that it's true
Bm G D
So fucking cruel and it all for a means to get through
Bm G D A
Coz it's a hell of a long way to fall just to learn to get up
Bm G D
Because this world, this world, this world is never enough
