Ruins Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Today, I climb the highest
mountain I have [A]ever climbed
And [D]I turn, to look at ruins I had [A]left behind
And [D]you, where were you so
[A]far removed from any [D]truth

[Verse 2]
I [F#m]lost you, didn't I[D]?[G]
First I think I lost myself
[D]

[Verse 3]
Children, then and forever
locked in a [A]memory
Hold[D]in' that mirror searching
for some kind of [A]certainty
That [D]you were just the same
[A]as everyone but you were [D]wrong

[Verse 4]
And it [F#m]hurt you, didn't i[G]t?
All you couldn't [D]be

[Verse 5]
[D]Ruins
[G]Oh oh oh oh oh
Ru[D]ins
Oh oh oh oh oh
[G]

[Verse 6]
I [D]tried to hold on to some kind of [A]dignity
Too [D]long I waded through a
vast and [A]endless sea
Think[D]ing, I could find the
[A]secret there with[D]in
But I [F#m]gave up,

[Verse 7]
didn't [G]I?
[D]It seemed the only way

[Verse 8]
[D]
Ruins, all the things we built
assured that [A]they would last
End[D]ing months ticket stubs and [A]written
notes and [D]photographs
Where are you and [A]here
somewhere I cannot [D]go

[Verse 9]
I'm [F#m]sorry, I [G]am
But I don't take [D]it back

[Verse 10]
And [A]in [G]the night I hea[D]r your voice
Some[G]times but it quickly [D]passes
In [G]dreams I saw what [D]I had thought
Could be [G]some kind of [A]answer
[G]You try and try and try until you
cannot try no more
[D]Captured in our own

[Verse 11]
[D]Ruins
[G]Oh oh oh oh oh
Ru[D]ins
[G]Oh oh oh oh oh
Ru[D]ins
[Bm]Oh oh oh oh oh
