INTRO (3x)
Am
Cmaj7
Gmaj7
Cmaj7dim/A

VERSE 1
Am
Nameless as the way we started
Cmaj7
I'd like to go
Gmaj7
Back to time before name
         Cmaj7dim/A
Name for all we know

Am
When the room was filled with chances
Cmaj7
No one would take
Gmaj7
We collided with them
        Cmaj7dim/A
Knowing chances fade

CHORUS
Am
Proving that to keep from hiding
Cmaj7                    Gadd6     Cmaj7   Gmaj7
Means you must play on a nerve
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7    Gadd6     C        D
Under            the weight of skin and bone
       Gadd6    Cmaj7  Gmaj7  Gadd6        Cmaj7  Gmaj7
Dotted lines                divide
    Gadd6    C         D
The shape of things to come

VERSE 2
Am
Giving up anticipation
Cmaj7
For certainty
Gmaj7
Wasn't nearly as good
      Cmaj7dim/A
As we hoped it'd be

Am
Pulling back the sheets and covers
Cmaj7
Only to find
    Gmaj7
The freight and baggage that grows
       Cmaj7dim/A
On the family tree

CHORUS
   Am
If loving only comes with effort
Cmaj7                  Gadd6     Cmaj7   Gmaj7
Could we still be on a nerve
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7    Gadd6     C        D
Under            the weight of skin and bone
       Gadd6    Cmaj7  Gmaj7  Gadd6        Cmaj7  Gmaj7
Dotted lines                divide
    Gadd6    C         D
The shape of things to come

INTERLUDE (verse chords)
Am
Cmaj7
Gmaj7
Cmaj7dim/A

VERSE 3
Am
Feeling on the edge of being
Cmaj7
Taken aback
Gmaj7
By the damage we did
         Cmaj7dim/A
With the sense we lack

Am
Thieving over intonation
Cmaj7               Gmaj7     Cmaj7   Gmaj7
Tuning at last on a nerve
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7    Gadd6     C        D
Under            the weight of skin and bone
       Gadd6    Cmaj7  Gmaj7  Gadd6        Cmaj7  Gmaj7
Dotted lines                divide
    Gadd6    C         D
The shape of things to come
