Intro:
Em G C D
Em G C D
 

 G          D 
 I was born before the storm
    Em              Bm
 My mother placed a dozen thorns
     C               G
 The sorry's and the take it back's
     C             D
 Lay silent in her folded hands and
 G                 D
 Head to headstone I just danced 
  Em          Bm
 Oblivious to consequence
    C              G
 As morning sank into the ground
     C                D
 The highest branch I sorted out
 

 Em                          Bm
 Oh, I didn't mean to let it go
                                       C
 I didn't mean to bruise but I lost control
                                   D      C D
 And when she said to me it still echoes
 
              
G             D     C    G
 All your love may fade away
G                 D    G   C  D  G
 All you'll become may all go to waste
    Em      D        C               G
 So I can't stand to hear you say it hurts
         Em             D  C
 When it only gets much worse
D   Em             D  C
 It only gets much worse
 

        G         D
 Oh you caught me come to life
     Em               B
 The moment when your eyes met mine
     C             G
 And from your bed, the sun came in
     C             D
 And to this day it never set
     G             D
 But here's to this I'm used to it
   Em                   Bm
 I stepped out for some cigarettes
     C                G
 The neon lights they called me in
     C               D
 Her eyes like yours, just different
 

     Em                           Bm
 And no, I didn't mean to let you go
                                       C
 I didn't mean to bruise but I lost control
                                       D
 What didn't mean a thing destroyed us both
 C  D
 Darling


G             D     C    G
 All your love may fade away
G                 D    C         G
 All you'll become may all go to waste
    Em      D        C               G
 So I can't stand to hear you say it hurts
         Em             D  C
 When it only gets much worse
D   Em             D  C
 It only gets much worse
 

Em Bm
 I couldn't quite believe
     C        
 The way you used to pull me down
               D  C D
 And takes its toll
Em
 I survived
     Bm
 The laws of gravity

 These jaws of brevity
   Am                                          D
 I would not let them sink their teeth into my soul
 C    D
 Whoa-oh


G           D     C    G
 All my love may fade away
G               D    G   C  D  G
 All I'll become may all go to waste
    Em      D        C               G
 So I can't stand to here and say it hurts
         Em             D  C
 When it only gets much worse
D   Em             D  C
 It only gets much worse


G            D     C    G
 All our love may fade away
G                D    C         G
 All we'll become may all go to waste
    Em      D        C               G
 So I can't stand to hear you say it hurts
         Em             D  C
 When it only gets much worse
D   Em             D  C
 It only gets much worse



Enjoy!
