Capo on 3rd fret
              
 
 
Am 
Falling from high places, falling through lost spaces, 
C 
Now that we're lonely, now that there's nowhere to go. 
Am 
Watching from both sides, these clock towers burning up, 
C 
I lost my time here, i lost my patience with it all. 
 
(Am  C) 
 
F                    G 
We lost faith, in the arms of love. 
 
(Am  C) 
 
Am                                                                                           C 
Where you been hiding lately, where you been hiding from the news? 
Am                                                                                             C 
Because we've been fighting lately, we've been fighting with the wolves. 
 
(Am  C) (2x) 
 
                           Am 
Red tongues and hands. 
 
(Am  C) 
 
Am 
Falling from high places, falling through lost spaces, 
C 
Now that we're lonely, now that there's nowhere to go. 
Am 
Watching from both sides, these towers been tumbling down, 
C 
I lost my mind here, I lost my patience with the lord. 
 
(Am  C) 
 
F                    G 
We lost faith, oh in the arms of love 
Am                                          C 
Where you been hiding lately, where you been hiding from the news? 
Am                                                 C 
Because we've been fighting lately, we've been fighting with the wolves. 
(Am  C) (2x) 
With the wolves. 
 
Red tongues and hands. 
F                    G                    Am 
We lost faith, in the arms of love.
