Asus2 
I open my hands out to see what I've got 
E                                  Asus2                 F#m 
My days slip like coins into a slot they are gone 
        Asus2          E        Asus2 
The shadows lie long 
E                                 Asus2 
I've been banking on a broken machine 
E                                 Asus2 
Left unattended like most of my dreams 
F#m                          Asus2             E              Asus2 
Rusted components of an unmarked song 
 
A                                               B 
We've been staring down the brilliant dream 
               C#m         B 
The sun burns our eyes 
                      A                B                E 
We've been fighting for the love of our lives 
 
E                          Asus2 
All around us things come apart 
E                         Asus2 
Broken pieces, broken hearts 
E                                    Asus2 
Fix me, oil me, match me with the next best thing 
Person to person, nation to nation 
Heels dug in, no communication 
F#m                          Asus2  E 
Wily time sneaks her weathering 
 
(same chorus) 
We've been waiting to be held by binding ties 
We've been fighting for the love of our lives 
                            A                                  E 
And when it breaks down, I beg you don't go 
F#m                                E 
I circle your ship, I'm ready to blow 
A                                                                B 
I try to outflank you with an army of words, I strategize 
A                          B                E        Asus2 
I am fighting for the love of my life
