[Verse]
[C]There is no great thing, to stop and sing
[C]Waiting for the rain
[C]And this perfect pill, it's all too much


C F - Am - G SLIDE BETWEEN CHORDS F - Am - G - G - C

On the edge again, don't look away
[C]Couldn't help but note the coldest thing
[C]In your precious face
[C]Why do you always speak when you have no grace
[C]In your precious face

[Chorus]
[F]But even [Am]in the dark I [G]saw you were the only one alone
[F]But these hot [Am]gates you spit your v[G]itriol though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
[F]And I can't be [Am]for you all [G]of the things you want me to
[F]But I will love you [Am]constantly There's [G]precious little else to me
And [Am]though we [G]cry, we must [C]stay alive [Am][-][G][-][C]

[Verse]
[C]Another fragile edge, and a tender sound
[C]And then you went aground
[C]Near a duller blade, a promise out of sight
[C]There's nothing here for you tonight

[Chorus]
[F]But even [Am]in the dark I [G]saw you were the only one alone
[F]But these hot [Am]gates you spit your v[G]itriol though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
[F]And I can't be [Am]for you all [G]of the things you want me to
[F]But I will love you [Am]constantly There's [G]precious little else to me
And [Am]though we [G]cry, we must [C]stay alive


[Bridge]
And [Am]though we [G]cry, we must [C]stay alive
Let my b[Am]lood only [G]run out when my [C]world decides
There is [Am]no way [G]out of your [C]only life
So run [Am]on, run o[G]n
