Bm                  G        A   G
The hardest single time that we fell upon
Bm      G      A       G
   overcame us like a god.
Bm                     G      A                 G
   Tonight, I will not try to harden truth with reasons,
Bm                       G          A
   but I turn the pieces over like I need them,
    D  A     G          A
and maybe in some way I do.

[Verse 2]
Bm                   G            A         G
   I dare not now return for the roar of memories,
Bm                      G       A            G
or to see how slight a trace we left of our lives.
Bm             G    A     G
   In another time, in another place,
Bm                  G        A
   you are standing there, above me,
   D    A       G
my head in your hands,
        A
and you know.


Bm G/D x2

[Chorus]
Em             F#m          A   A6 (add F# on high E string)
  You live in everything I love
Em           F#m             A   A6
  and everything I’ll never be.
Em                 F#m           A   A6
  You’re traced in everything I touch.
Em             F#m         Bb
  You are the rhythm of my days
C         F#m  G
and the spaces in between.


Bm G/D x3

[Verse 3]
Bm                G        A       G
The darkness I defined has not forgotten me,
Bm                   G         A            G
  but ever presses closer the bounds of my reach.
Bm                     G      A                 G
  Tonight, I will not try to harden truth with reasons -
Bm                  G
  a silence says it all;
A  D     A     G           A
it comes to remind me who I am.
