[Intro] D D D6 Dmaj7 D6 Gmaj7 [Verse 1] D In and out of focus D6 Moments that I keep Dmaj7 Something for the pain D6 And something so I sleep Gmaj7 Wonβt you comfort me? Gmaj7 Warm the air that I breathe D Visceral in doses D6 Hiding in the seams Dmaj7 Standing on the sun and D6 I donβt feel a thing Gmaj7 Wonβt you comfort me? Gmaj7 Take the fear I donβt need [Chorus] A I wake every morning with A6 the years ticking by Bm7 Iβm missing all these memories, Gmaj7 maybe they were never mine A I feel the walls are closing Iβm running out of the time Bm I think I missed the gun G at the starting line [Instrumental] D G [Verse 2] D Tell me, am I broken? D6 I can never leave Dmaj7 Biting on my tongue and D6 Checking if it bleeds Gmaj7 Is it lost on me? Gmaj7 All the things I believe D Something like an omen D6 I can never keep Dmaj7 Moving on and on, D6 so very bittersweet Gmaj7 Is it lost on me?
