                Freakin beautiful song, this is how I play it acoustic


            Em                            Cadd9              D
Tailored sheets, to fit this dirty bed, 
for once this dirt won't come all off 
I can’t be pushed aside.


Em              Cadd9              D

C                                       
Wind is blowing thru closed doors 
       D                                   Am               G             
With shadows dancing in the hall 
                 C
Now hit the floor, crawl to the side, We've all 
            Am                   G
made better moves despite the slowing of our feet.


Em           D                           G                Am
          For Once, lets leave the dreaming to someone else, 
Our time has slipped away, We’re sinking faster, faster no more play,
 Get ready for the catch, I'm at the next step, waiting for our year

Em  D     Em       D
       And all at once 
it leaves you breathless, 
With next to nothing, 
but open hands.


Am            C                 G
Reach out, hold on tight, I know it hurts but keep trying, 
And with your luck, This won't be over quick Out of the blue it strikes you 

Cadd9           D                                                     Cadd9      D
                       What’s left to catch but the fear of letting go?
       Cadd9            D
(the fear of letting go)

Cadd9
And bite down, The stress get harder now,
F#m  D  F#m   D                     F#m      Am    F#m   Am
               The mood is let down,     Let it play for the last time, 
take this last second to know who's walking out.


C           D              Em
For once don’t be so weak, 
Back up the feelings that you claim now, 
Fall deeper into a world, 
that you can’t explain. 
Em        G                      Am       D
       For once don’t be so weak, I see the mistake that is you,
don't try another lie, I know the truth

Em  D Em C
               Let hate save you, 
when, nothing else will, 
Oh, let it save you, when, 
nothing else will.

Em D Em D Em D Em

(Let it save you)

F#m  D  F#m   D                     F#m      Am    F#m   Am
               The mood is let down,     Let it play for the last time, 
   F#m  D  F#m   D                     F#m      Am    F#m   Am     C9        D  
                                                        take this last second to know.

Cadd9                           D          Em                      
We know who does it best, 
                                                     G                                Cadd9      D
Wind is blowing thru closed doors  With shadows dancing in the hall 
                 Cadd9                   D                             Em                      G
Now hit the floor, crawl to the side, We've all made better moves despite our slowing feet

Let hate save you when nothing else will.

I know the truth, it won’t save you.
