Verse 1
       C           C               C 
On the day I first met you face to face 
           C            Am 
Your words didn’t go to waste 
         Am             Am 
Climbing ladders, tying knots 
         Am                 F 
You knew more than you were taught 
            F              F 
And I can’t protect you, oh 
         F           C 
I will betray you, so 
        C              C                C          F 
Is this not the way we always knew that it would go? 
 
Chorus
    G 
But still... 
  Am         C 
I regret it, oh. 
     F       G 
And, oh, but still... 
                   C 
The sky is hanging heavy. 
 
    F          G              C           Am 
And all of the words that are tied inside you and I 
    F          G          C             Am 
And all of the times we believed it was do or die 
    F          G              C             F 
And all of the things that we tried to make last 
           F G 
All things pass, 
           C 
All things pass. 
 
Verse 2
          F 
Can’t you feel the heavens hanging heavy 
                                C 
Every time your words lay down upon me? 
                       Am         Am 
Your heart’s a beating bird in my hands 
           Am          Am 
But you’re not at my command 
 
              F 
And can’t you smell the distant sea of something missing 
                           C 
Past these streets so unforgiving 
              Am         Am 
Sure, there’s hole in my heart 
     Am                  Am 
So I don’t know where to start 
 
Chorus
     F       G 
And, oh, but still... 
          Am       C 
I can’t regret it, oh. 
     F       G 
And, oh, but still... 
                   C 
I knew where I was headed. 
 
    F          G             C              Am 
And all of the words that at times, we will hide behind (and I know it’s not the same) 
    F          G             C             Am 
And all of the years that we feared it was do or die (and you know I blame myself) 
       F            G               C           F 
Though all of these things will someday come to pass (and I feel I can’t go on…) 
               F  G 
For now, we’ll last... 
               C 
For now, we’ll last. 
 
Verse 3
           F 
So this is living 
     Am 
With knowing 
    F                         C 
Not everything is going to be ok 
               F 
And we’ll keep living 
     Am 
Even though, we know 
    F                         C 
Not everything is going to be ok
