Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][B][F#][B][F#][B][C][D]
[Em][B]
[C][D]
What [G]comes [D]as no

[Verse 1]
[Em]surprise
To a jaded [B]mind no less
Insight comes [C]from soothing grace
Left to waiting [D]days
Another [Em]chord[E][Em]
unstrummed

[Verse 2]
[C]Our secret's safe and [D]sound
[C]Solid now [D]un less it breaks
[Em]in two[E][Em]
[G]Faithfully unbound
[F#]None[D] of [Em]this was[D]
[G]ever [D]built [Em]to last

[Verse 3]
In the paleness of a [B]less than life
From a corner watching [C]old paint dry
Never once a [D]break
Into the [Em]self again
An endeavour that will [B]flat our fail
What maturity [C]comes to end
Never one to [D]face
Another beat undone
[Em]

[Verse 4]
[E][Em]
Our [G]secret's [Em]safe [G]and soun[Em]d[D]
[Em]Solid [D]now unless [G]it
breaks [Em]in two
[C]Faithfully [D]unbound
[C]None of this [D]was ever built to last

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C][Em][Am]
[B][Em][C][B]
[C][Em][G][Am][A][B][Em]
[C][B][C][Em][Am][A][B]

[Verse 5]
Once [Em]again
Another instant [B]saved today
Left a print that [C]leads nowhere
Never built [D]to last
What [C]makes [B]it [Am]work?
A part of life that makes
[Em]the weak hearts grow
Take it in if you're [F]willing to say
Willing to do
Pre[G]pared to lay it down
Just know this
It [C]was [G]never [Am]built to la[Em]st
It was [F]never ever built to

[Outro 1]
last
[G][C][G][Am][G][Am]
