VERSE 
 
F                              Am 
You're pushing down on my shoulders 
F                              Am      C 
And emptying my lungs 
F                              Am     
An in a moment I'm older 
F                              Am      C 
In a moment, you've won 
F                           
And you escape me 
Am 
Like it's nothing 
F                            Am      C 
Like words I never should have said 
F                              Am  
And the stress comes to the surface 
F                                 Am      C       F 
But all of the heroes are dead 
 
 
 
 
          Em                                 Am 
And I hate that I can't say your name 
          C                                    F 
Without feeling like I'm part of the blame 
          Em                                 Am 
And it's never gonna feel quite the same 
          C                                    F 
But it's never gonna change 
          Em                                 Am 
And I hate that I'm always so young 
          C                                    F 
Had me feeling like you were the one 
          Em                                 Am 
And it's never gonna feel like it's done 
          C                                    F 
'Cause it's never gonna change 
          Em                                 Am 
Never gonna change 
          C                                    F 
Never gonna change 
          Em                                 Am 
Never gonna change 
 
VERSE 
 
F                                                Am 
While I dance here softly 
F                                Am      C 
You're next to me again 
F                              Am       
But we're still tugging on each other 
F                              Am      C 
And tearing up the fraying loose ends 
 
 
 
          Em                                 Am 
And I hate that I can't say your name 
               C                                     F 
Without feeling like I'm part of the blame 
          Em                                 Am 
And it's never gonna feel quite the same 
               C                                     F 
But it's never gonna change 
          Em                                 Am 
And I hate that I'm always so young 
               C                                     F 
Had me feeling like you were the one 
          Em                                 Am 
And it's never gonna feel like it's done 
               C                                     F 
'Cause it's never gonna change 
          Em                                 Am 
Never gonna change 
               C                                     F 
Never gonna change 
          Em                                 Am 
Never gonna change
