D/F#  A/E           F#m    Bm/F#   F#m   G/D        A/E 
      Christ on the cross, no more room, just slide off 
D/F#  A/E         F#m   Bm/F#   F#m    G/D         A/E 
      Meet on the wire, no more lines, can't climb higher 
   G                                    A 
So from your new plateau you writhe and wait 
                                 G 
For something real to shake your bones 
                        A 
To turn you back into a person

D    A           F#m   Bm       F#m    G           A   A4  A 
 You sublet the space, cut your costs, flipped off fate 
D    A                 F#m     Bm        F#m       G       A   A4  A 
 And watched while she packed, cried and cried but no come back 
    G                                A 
You figured you could sit around and wait 
                               G 
For love this real to just pop up 
                               A 
To fall from trees, to ride on rainstorms 



G                 D 
 Convinced it was worth it 
G                 Bm        A        G 
 You swore it was worth it, yeah, he-hey 
                D                    A        A4  A 
You said it was worth it through the first hit 


 
Em         D                    Bm   A 
 But back amongst the dirt and spent grass 
Em         D                A 
 The empty coffee cups, the green glass 
Em            D             Bm   A 
 The basement brokering and side bets 
Em          D             A 
 The puzzle pieces in the tool shed 



G                D 
 I think you can build it 
G                Bm        A        G 
 I think you can build it, yeah, he-hey 
               D                A                  A7 
I know you can build it cause I built it, yeah, he-hey 



G                 D 
 Convinced it was worth it 
G                 Bm        A        G 
 You swore it was worth it, yeah, he-hey 
                D                    A        A4  A 
You said it was worth it through the first hit 
G               D 
Back before you moved so fast 
    G                       Bm        A 
And traced your veins with splintered glass 
     G          D                A 
Your lazy eyes aligned to find a purpose, a purpose
