Intro:
[F#m] A side of temperance
an appetite for excess
I'm burning down
like your cigarette

Verse 1:

Shane Told : Growl
[F#m]You had me at good[E]bye
[D] I loved to [F#m]see
you slip away
S[E]taring at a [D]car crash

Josh Bradford Sings backup:
You had me cornered
I lived to watch you
I enjoyed captivity

Shane Told: Sing
[F#m] We kill at weddings
and [E]live for fune[F#m]rals

We're taking steps on
the [E]water just to [D]show

Shane Told: Growl
We do what[D]ever we [C#m]want [D]to

Chorus 1: Growl
[F#m]How Did I for[D]get
[C#]who [D]I [F#m]was
Did I for[D]get [C#m]just
[D]where I [F#m]came from
Did I just [D]lose [C#m]who [D]I [F#m]am
This is the [D]line [C#m]I
s[D]tand[F#m] A feast of
apathy a shot of angst

Verse 2:

Shane Told: Growl
[F#m]I carried you a[E]way[D]
I dropped you [F#m]in the gutter
[D]Just to watch you s[D]cream

Josh Bradford: Sings Backup Growls

I brought you to safety
Taking all your blame
Hid you and protected

Shane Told: Sing
[F#m] We save with violence
and [E]lie with elo[F#m]quence
We're turning wine into
[E]water with ab[D]horrence

Shane Told: Growl
We'll save wh[Dm]oever
[C#m]we want to

Chorus 2: Growl
[F#m]How Did I for[D]get
[C#]who [D]I [F#m]was
Did I for[D]get [C#m]just
[D]where I [F#m]came from
Did I just [D]lose [C#m]who [D]I [F#m]am
D C#m F#m(hold)
This is the line I stand

Breakdown: Melody became softer
[F#m-A-Bm--]

Bridge:
[F#m]I'm not so[A] confi[Bm]dent
I'm gonna be the one
Who takes the next step
[F#m] I'm a cyclone
[A]passion over[Bm]blown
Tied to the tides that
[D]pull me in the under[F#m]tow
Where the wind blows
[A] Is where my body's
Bm D (hold)
thrown And I can't fight it
[F#m] Maybe we should
[A]walk away from [Bm]this
Take our proverbial
[D]walk into the sunset
[F#m] Maybe we are [A]destined
to be [Bm]different
We were designed for
[D]more resilience than [F#m]this

But we don't know how
[A] and we live in the [Bm]now
If we were smarter maybe
[D]we would try to fake it
[F#m] Maybe we should
[A]walk away from [Bm]this
And stop being [D]ourselves
Just stop being your[C#--]self
If you want to be happy

Chorus 3: Growl
[F#m]How Did I for[D]get
[C#]who [D]I [F#m]was
Did I for[D]get [C#m]just
[D]where I [F#m]came from
Did I just [D]lose [C#m]who [D]I [F#m]am
This is the [D]fine line [C#m]I s[F#m]tand
This is the [D]fine line [C#m]I s[F#m]tand
D C#m(hold)
This is the fine line I
