[INTRO]
Em G C D
Em G C D
[VERSE 1]
G D
I was born before the storm
Em Bm
My mother placed a dozen thorns
C G
The sorry's and the take it back's
C D
Lay silent in her folded hands and
G D
Head to headstone I just danced
Em Bm
Oblivious to consequence
C G
As morning sank into the ground
C D
The highest branch I sought it out
[PRE-CHORUS]
Em Bm
Oh, I didn't mean to let it go
C
I didn't mean to bruise but I lost control
D C D
And when she said to me it still echoes
[CHORUS]
G D C G
All your love may fade away
G D G C D G
All you'll become may all go to waste
Em D C G
So I can't stand to hear you say it hurts
Em D C
When it only gets much worse
D Em D C
It only gets much worse
[VERSE 2]
G D
Oh you caught me come to life
Em B
The moment when your eyes met mine
C G
And from your bed, the sun came in
C D
And to this day it never set
G D
But here's to this I'm used to it
Em Bm
I stepped out for some cigarettes
C G
The neon lights they called me in
C D
Her eyes like yours, just different
[PRE-CHORUS]
Em Bm
And no, I didn't mean to let you go
C
I didn't mean to bruise but I lost control
D
What didn't mean a thing destroyed us both
C D
Darling
[CHORUS]
G D C G
All your love may fade away
G D C G
All you'll become may all go to waste
Em D C G
So I can't stand to hear you say it hurts
Em D C
When it only gets much worse
D Em D C
It only gets much worse
[BRIDGE]
Em Bm
I couldn't quite believe
C
The way you used to pull me down
D C D
And takes its toll
Em
I survived
Bm
The laws of gravity
These jaws of brevity
Am D
I would not let them sink their teeth into my soul
C D
Whoa-oh
[CHORUS]
G D C G
All my love may fade away
G D G C D G
All I'll become may all go to waste
Em D C G
So I can't stand to here and say it hurts
Em D C
When it only gets much worse
D Em D C
It only gets much worse
[CHORUS]
G D C G
All our love may fade away
G D C G
All we'll become may all go to waste
Em D C G
So I can't stand to hear you say it hurts
Em D C
When it only gets much worse
D Em D C
It only gets much worse

I was born before the storm
My mother placed a dozen thorns
The “sorry”s and the "take it back”s
lay silent in her folded hands
And head to headstone I just danced
oblivious to consequence
As a mourning sank into the ground
the highest branch I sought it out oh
I didn’t mean to let it go
I didn’t mean to bruise but I lost control
And what she said to me it still echoes
All your love may fade away
All you’ll become may all go to waste
so I can’t stand to hear you say it hurts
when it only gets much worse
Oh you caught me come to life
the moment when your eyes met mine
and from your bed the sun came in
and till this day it never set
But years of this and used to it
I stepped out for some cigarettes
The neon lights they called me in
Her eyes like yours just different enough
I didn’t mean to let you go
I didn’t mean to bruise but I lost control
What didn’t mean a thing destroyed us both
darling
All your love may fade away
All you’ll become may all go to waste
so I can’t stand to hear you say it hurts
when it only gets much worse
I couldn’t quite believe
the way it used to pull me down
and take its toll
I survived the laws of gravity
these jaws of brevity
I will not let them sink their teeth into my soul
All my love may fade away
All I’ll become may all go to waste
so I can’t stand here and say it hurts
when it only gets much worse
All our love may fade away
All we'll become may all go to waste
so I can’t stand to hear you say it hurts
when it only gets much worse
