Sinking Stone

	  		
Verse 

     E 
I called you today 
  C#m 
Wanting a change 
    B 
I never meant to hurt anyone 
       B 
Never meant for you to pull out your guns 
       E 
But feelings won't stay 
          C#m 
In this meager parade 
          B 
You're beating to a different drum 
         B 
In this lack of all the luster we've become 
 E 
Save your breath 
 C#m 
You know we've both 
  E 
Tried our best 
          F# 
But it's leaving 

       B 
This might as well be done 
      A 
I'm falling with the sun 
                  E                      C#m 
When the hours getting sour won't save with time 
          B 
And I'm waving off the one 
        A 
Who wouldn't let me run 
                        E                   C#m   F# 
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on 
                           E 
I'm untying this sinking stone... 

        E 
Don't sit on the fence 
 C#m 
Living past tense 
   B 
Holding on to wishes and words 
   B 
Folding out a picture we blur 
        E 
Cause here in the end 
      C#m 
I'm losing a friend 
    B 
Fighting back a tear when it burns 
    B 
Dividing up the pieces that we were 

 E 
Save your breath 
 C#m 
You know we've both 
  E 
Tried our best 
           F# 
But it's leaving 

     B 
This might as well be done 
       A 
I'm falling with the sun 
                 E                     C#m 

When the hours getting sour won't save with time 
      B 
I'm waving off the one 
       A

Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on

         E 
I can't say you're all alone 
       C#m 
I'm accepting what I own 
             B             A 
Here lies a blanket not a bandage 

       E 
I'm unable to restrain 
          C#m 
When the wake that we became 
               E 
Is drawing me under 

       B 
This might as well be done 
      A 
I'm falling with the sun 
                E                           C#m

I'm untying this sinking stone...
