INTRO
C, B diminished, Am, G, F, Dm, Em

Am                  C
I must admit it's a balancing act
         Em                 G
It looks dangerous, that's part of it
          F
Remember, don't look down

C, B diminished

Am                      C
You and I standing in a crowded room
        Em                         G
We were pressed together but we're holding on
               F
Like we're all that was, That's all there was

C, B diminished, Am, G, F, Dm, 
Em, F

C               G
  In a flash of light
        Dm                      F
We were drunk, we were having a fight
      C           G                   F
I was wrong, that don't mean you were right
C                      G
  Then you played that song
         Dm               F
It was a thousand seconds long
          C                 G           F
It didn't end, it seemed to play on all night
       Dm            G              Em
'Cause if I remember right I fell asleep there

Am                    C
Rainclouds passed and darkened more
Em                    G               F
An evening touched by waiting for the sky burst
Am                     C
Storms had gathered in crushing lines
   Em             G              F
I surrendered to a way that I remembered you

That's all there was


C, B diminished, Am, G, F, Dm, 
Em, F

C                     G
  If I were forced to choose
     Dm                F
What I have, I have to lose
  C               G                 F
I need love, that don't mean I need you
C                      G
  It started with that song
         Dm               F
It was a thousand seconds long
          C           G           F
It didn't end 'cause we never got through

                            C               G
And did you think that I had planned it all along,
Em            F
Hoping not to be alone?
           C            G            F
Well I was there on the edge of the rush

                              C                    G
And did you leave because you thought that I would stay,
Em              F
Stricken with a holy fright?
           C            G            F
And it was clear as the night in the cold
Dm                       G                  Em
   And I won't ever know what you're afraid of

C              B diminished
  And when the world ends
Am         G       F
A thousand seconds too
C                 B diminished
  We'll watch the time pass
Am                 G        F
   Run through the high end too

C                B diminished
  And then we'll wait there
Am           G       F
  A thousand seconds too
C                B diminished
  That's when it all ends
Am           G       F
  A thousand seconds too
