Verse: Guitar 2 tacet, Guitar 1 plays single chords at every change
(The bass plays the Am and Dm chords as Am7 and Dm7, so these can
be substituted)

[Am] is it this [Dm]place that [G]makes me fall from [Am]you
forget the words that once rang so true

(Guitar 1 plays rhythm figure 1B twice, Guitar 2 plays tab below)

did we expect that life was ever fair, my god...
i sowed a field of rose and reaped a whipping rod

[Am] [Dm] [G]

Chorus: Guitar 1 plays chords, Guitar 2 plays tab

[F]and everything i've held too [G]tight inside

Em (guitar 2 plays the first Em below)
could make a part of me die

[F]and if my lips could only [G]speak the name

Em (guitar 2 plays the second Em)
the dam would break

[F] [G]

Verse:
what is this ice that gathers 'round my heart
to stop the flood of warmth before it even starts
it would make me blind to what i thought would always be
the only constant in the world for me

Chorus:
and every hour of every day
i need to fight from pulling away
and if my mind could only loose the chain
the dam would break

Bridge: (Guitar 1 plays chords, guitar 2 plays tab below)

[Am]for all the things i hid [G]away[Em]

[Am]and all the words i could not [G]say

[Em]the dam would break

[Am]
