The ribbon was crimson

The color of the night

And the night never ends

The trees are giving up on us

It never ends

Verse 3:
Am G
If the sun is on its way
F
Then we will never die
Em
And we'll follow these
Dm
tracks to the sight
C
Now the lungs collapse
B
And the air is getting thin
Am G
All breath expired
F Em
Is too late to heal?
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 4:
F Em
It's all I ever see anymore
C
But the day was so
Em Am
bright in the pictures
In the photo album that you gave me
F Em
It's all I have to live for
Outro:
C
I'm falling down
Am
I'm falling down
And you're not sad
F
to break my fall
I shut my eyes
Em
when you're around
I hold my breath
to kill the sound
C
I'm falling down
Am
I'm falling down
And you're not here
F
to catch my fall
I shut my eyes
Em
when you're around
I hold my breath
to kill the sound
C
I'm falling down
Am
I'm falling down
And you're not here
F(hold)
to catch my fall
