           C#m7
It's not a silly little moment
             Aadd9            E
It's not the storm before the calm

This is the deep and dying breath of

This love that we've been working on

Can't seem to hold you like I want to

So I can feel you in my arms

Nobody's gonna come and save you
                      Aadd9   E
We've pulled too many false alarms

I was the one you always dreamed of

You were the one I tried to draw
             C#m7
How dare you say it's nothing to me
                      Aadd9        E
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw

I'll make the most of all the sadness

You'll be a bitch because you can

You try to hit me just to hurt me so you leave me feeling dirty
