D
I turn up my speakers
                                              G
So I can drown my thoughts just a little bit quicker
                                 D
Dancing barefoot in the dead of winter
                                          G
So I can numb this heart that's full of splinters


[Verse 2]
          D
They say time heals
                                          G
All wounds but these clocks are at a standstill
                                     D
And I'm counting every second that you're not here
                             G
But only in my dreams do you appear


[Pre-Chorus]
      A                      G
Am I allowed to lay down my smile
         A                  G
And be bitter just for a while?


[Chorus]
 D                                                      A
    Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
                                                       Bm
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow
                                      G
Could you try to take a look into my eyes
         N.C.                     D
And tell me why oh why why why?
                    G
Why oh why why why?
           A
Why oh why?


[Verse 3]
                 D
I close all the windows
                                   G
Draw the curtains hoping that the sun knows
                              D
All I see is you when the day glows
                                  G
Reminding me that you are just a shadow


[Verse 4]
       D
When I wake
                                             G
For a split second in time, my heart does not ache
                                      D
Thinking you'll be next to me, then I shake
                                  G
To see an empty bed and all over I brake


[Pre-Chorus]
      A                     G
Am I allowed to lay down my smile
       A                  G
And be bitter just for a while?


[Chorus]
 D                                                      A
    Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
                                                      Bm
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow
                                      G
Could you try to take a look into my eyes
         N.C.                     D
And tell me why oh why why why?


[Bridge]

 D                                   Em
   I should have known when you were grinding your teeth
               Bm
(I should have known)
                          A                  D
That you were hiding your feelings from me, oh
 D                                   E
   I should have known when you were tossing in your sleep
               G
(I should have known)
                          A
That you were hiding your feelings from me


[Chorus]
 D                                                     A
    Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
                                                     Bm
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow
                                      G
Could you try to take a look into my eyes
         N.C.                     D
And tell me why oh why why why?


[Chorus]
 D                                                     A
    Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
                                                     Bm
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow
                                      G
Could you try to take a look into my eyes
         N.C.                     D
And tell me why oh why why why?
                    G
Why oh why why why?
           A
Why oh why why why?
