| G | - | F6 | - |
[Verse 1]
Am F6
Waking up is harder than it seems
G F6
Wandering through these empty rooms of dusty books and quiet dreams
Am F6
Pictures on the mantle, speak your name
G F6
Softly like forgotten tunes, just outside the sound of pain
[Chorus 1]
Am G/B
Weren't we like a pair of thieves
C
With tumbled locks and broken codes
Dm
You cannot take that from me. My
E7
small reprieves, your heart of gold
Am G/B
Weren't we like a battlefield
C
Locked inside a holy war
Dm
You're loving my due diligence;
E7 Am
The only thing worth fighting for
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Am F6
Change will come to those who have no fear
G F6
But I'm not her. You never were the kind who kept a rulebook near
Am F6
What I said was never what I meant.
G F6
And now you've seen my world in flames, my shadow songs, my deep regret
[Chorus 2]
Am G/B
Weren't we like a pair of thieves
C
With tumbled locks and broken codes
Dm
You cannot take that from me. My

Locked inside a holy war

Waking up is harder
Than it seems
Wandering through these empty rooms of
Dusty books and quiet dreams
Pictures on a mantel
Speak your name
Softly like forgotten tunes just
Outside the sound of pain

The only thing worth fighting for

Change will come to those who
Have no fear
But I'm not her, you never were
The kind who kept a rule book near

And now you've seen my world in flames my
Shadow songs my deep regrets

[Verse 1]
Waking up is harder
Than it seems
Wandering through these empty rooms of
Dusty books and quiet dreams
Pictures on a mantel
Speak your name
Softly like forgotten tunes just
Outside the sound of pain
[Chorus]
Weren't we like a pair of thieves
With tumbled locks and broken codes
You cannot take that from me
My small reprieves
Your heart of gold
Weren't we like a battlefield
Locked inside a holy war
Your love and my due diligence
The only thing worth fighting for
[Verse 2]
Change will come to those who
Have no fear
But I'm not her, you never were
The kind who kept a rule book near
What I said was never
What I meant
And now you've seen my world in flames my
Shadow songs my deep regrets
[Chorus]
Weren't we like a pair of thieves
With tumbled locks and broken codes
You cannot take that from me
My small reprieves
Your heart of gold
Weren't we like a battlefield
Locked inside a holy war
Your love and my due diligence
The only thing worth fighting for
