Intro:
Main riff x2
Main riff (chords) x2
A C# B A
We're only young and naive still
C# B A
We require certain skills
C# B A
The mood it changes like the wind
C# B A
Hard to control when it begins
Main riff (chords) x2:
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
A C# B A
Can't help myself but count the flaws
C# B A
Claw my way out through these walls
C# B A
One temporary escape
C# B A
Feel it start to permeate
C# B A
We lie beneath the stars at night
C# B A
Our hands gripping each other tight
C# B A
You keep my secrets hope to die
C# B A
Promises, swear them to the sky
Main riff (chords) x2:
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
A C# B
As it withers
A C# B
Brittle it shakes
A C# B
Can you whisper
A C# B A
As it crumbles and breaks
C# B A
As you shiver
C# B A
Count up all your mistakes
C# B A
Pair of forgivers
C# B A
Let go before it’s too late
C# B A
Can you whisper
