Ain't it funny how we pretend we're still a child

-7 6    6 -5  4 -5   5  -4  4     4

Softly stolen under our blanket skies

 4  -5 5   -4  4   5    4  -4   4  -4  5  4 -3”

And rescue me from me, and all that I be-lie-ve

7  -7   6 5   6  -5 -4

I won't deny the pa-in

7  -8   7 -8  8   7 -6

I won't deny the cha-nge

 4   -5    5  4    -4   5    -8 7   7   7 -6

And should I fall from grace he-re with yo-u

 7    7    7  -6   6

Will you leave me too?

 

 6     5   -7   6     6   -5   -5 5  -4   4   4

Carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree

       -7  -8 -8   8’ -8    -6  -8  -8    -8 -7 6

(And) hold me for goodbyes and whispered lullabyes

 4   -5  5 -4  4   5   

And tell me I am still

Too late to turn back no-w, I'm running out of so-und

-5  6 -5  -6’ -5     7  -6’ 6

And I am changing, chang-i-ng

 6  -8 7   -8   8   -8 -7   7    -9   8   7    -6  6 -5

And if we died right no-w, this fool you love some-ho-w

-5  6    6   -6’

Is here with you

I won't deny the pa-in

And should I fall from gra-ce here with yo-u

  7    7    7   7  7 -6

Would you leave me to-o?

Would you leave me too?
