Intro
G C x2
G Em x2
[Verse]
G
This is not an escape
C G Em
But I don't know how to hold somebody without losing my grip
G
You'll say I was bound to leave
C
Since I first stepped across your borders
G Em
Since I crawled into your skin
D G
Thought I heard you whisper in the dark
C
That you knew where the light would be
Em D G
Thought I saw your shape against the black
C
Thought I felt you moving beside me
D G C
We are not alone and we are more alone than we've ever been
D
So hurry up and lose me
G Em
Hurry up and find me, again
G Em (x2)
G
So I'll pass the lumber mills
Em C
I'll pass the coal mines and the parks
G Em
And the dried up oil fields
C G Em
I'll pass a thousand lonely pines that bend the backs against the sun
C G Em
But I'll mistake the station birds for the sound of my phone ringing
D G
Thought I heard you whisper in the dark
C
That you knew where the light would be
Em D G
Don't wait for me to walk a straight line
C
You can only hold your breath so long
D G C
We are not alone and we are more alone than we've ever been
D
So hurry up and lose me
G Em
Hurry up and find me, again
G Em (x2)
G
But I am no less bound to you
Em C
Than when I crossed into your silence
G Em
When I held your solitude
G
But you never liked it
When I'd play dead
Em C G Em
And you wondered why my love songs are always the grieving kind
C G Em
Why I wander off to search for my reflection in the crowd
C Em
Oh, forget I said love
G C
And also, don't forget I said love
D G C
We are not alone and we are more alone than we've ever been
D
So hurry up and lose me
G Em
Hurry up and find me again
G Em (x4)
