Followed by the "I'm tired, I'm tired..." line.

The strumming pattern for the rest of the song is: |D D UDU|D D UDU|D D UDU| etc.

After every "I'm tired of being tongue tied" line, he starts the next bar with an exaggerated
up strum on Em.

Lyrics/Chords:

(TAB)
The fall that breaks your bed,
turns showers of sunlight to hours of hindsight instead.
You sigh, you shake your head,
it did what they asked us, but time drifted past I'm afraid.
But [Am]I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being [D]tongue tied.

Em Em Cadd9 Em x2

[Em]If we can make it through to[Em]night girl,
I kno[Cadd9]w I won't be alone a[Em]gain.
[Em]If we can make it through this [Em]night girl,
I kno[Cadd9]w I won't be alone [Em]again.
But I[Am]'m tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being [D]tongue tied.

[Em] [Em] [Cadd9] [Em]
[Em]If I don't let you go to[Em]night girl,
I kno[Cadd9]w I won't be alone a[Em]gain.
[Em]My lips are dry your grip is [Em]tight girl,
but I kno[Cadd9]w I won't sing this song a[Em]gain.
But I[Am]'m tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being [D]tongue tied.

[Em] [Em] [Cadd9] [Em]
[Em]I know these wrongs don't make it [Em]right girl,
but I kno[Cadd9]w I will look on and ad[Em]mire.
[Em]So I will watch you here to[Em]night girl,
brighter and [Cadd9]more like the embers of our [Em]fire.
But I[Am]'m tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being [D]tongue tied.
So [Am]lately I've been working on this [D]song of mine.

(TAB)
You sigh, you shake your hair,
turns showers of sunlight to hours of hindsight instead.
The fall that breaks your bed,
it did what they asked us, but time drifted past I'm afraid.
But I[Am]'m tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being [D]tongue tied

NOTE: I'm fairly certain this is how Rheon plays it; however, I like to slip a C chord in
between the first two Ems of each bar as I feel it plays better. So:

[Em]"If we can [C]make it through to[Em]night girl,
I kno[Cadd9]w I won't be alone a[Em]gain." etc.
