C            G        Am          F
We paid for new ways to avoid one another
   C     G               Am        F
A tv that fills up one side of the room
   C            G           Am              F
We stare at our phones now (instead of each other)
    C       G           Am           F
And silently wonder just how to break through


[Chorus]

       G                 C5
To the other side of the silence
       G                 G7       C
Where distance is only a story we tell
        G              E            Am
When we hold hands and know that we made it
      C         G             (F)            Am
We’re making it still… can we please make it still?


[Verse 2]

     C          G              Am          F
Our house is on fire; I’ve got matches for fingers
       C        G            Am         F
And my gasoline tongue isn’t helping at all
   C        G        Am               F
So try as I might to repair what I’ve broken
  C        G            Am            F
I only set fire to each bridge that I build


[Chorus]

       G                 C5
To the other side of the silence
      G                  G7       C
Where distance is only a story we tell
        G              E            Am
When we hold hands and know that we made it
      C         G              F             Am
We’re making it still… can we please make it still?


[Bridge]

C5           G               F      C5
Someday, the words will come easy again
     C5            G              F           C5
I’ll stop all this hiding, you’ll let me back in
     C5          G              F          C5         G
Our family’s not here; we don’t have to pretend it’s okay


[Verse 3]

C          G          Am            F
I’m in the back yard destroying the branches
     C          G            Am          F
That hang low enough for my golf club to reach
     C            G             Am        F
Destruction’s the one thing I’m naturally good at
   C              G             Am       F
It might take all year for the leaves to return
