[Verse 1]
She [F]got [C]down on hands and knees,
one [F]ear a[C]gainst the [G]ground
[F]Holding her [C]breath to hear something,

[Verse 2]
[F]Echoes [C]of songs still lurk
on [F]distant [C]foreign [G]shores, where we
[F]Danced jus[C]t to please the gods
that [F]only [C]ask for [G]more, and so it

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am](goes) But still we give
[G]ourselves to this
[F]We can't spend our lives waiting to

[Chorus 1]
[C](live) On cold [G]nights
In a prayer for [F]dawn
But the daylight
Isn't what she [C]wants
The [G]concrete
Calls my name a[F]gain
I'm [C]falling
Through the [G]cracks I

[Verse 3]
The postcard says [C]wish you were here
But I'd [F]rather [C]I was t[G]here, holding
[F]On to [C]the simple things
be[F]fore they [C]disap[G]pear, that's what I

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Am](meant) But that was [G]then,
and this is [F]now

[Chorus 2]
I'll make it up to you somehow
[C]On cold nig[G]hts
In a prayer for [F]dawn
But the daylight
Isn't what she [C]wants
The [G]concrete
Calls my name a[F]gain
I'm [C]falling
Through the [G]cracks [E]I

[Bridge 1]
[Am](slip) Our destination
[G]A fading smile
[C]Another station
[Dm]Another mile
[Am]Another day gone
[G]But I swore that I will
[C]be there before dawn
[Dm]So be there I will

[Verse 4]
She [F]got [C]down on hands and knees,
one [F]ear a[C]gainst the [G]ground
[F]Holding her [C]breath to hear something,
[F]any[C]thing at [G]all
[F]The dirt whispered "Child, I'm coming

[Chorus 3]
[C](home) On cold [G]nights
In a prayer for [F]dawn
But the daylight
Isn't what she [C]wants
The [G]concrete
Calls my name a[F]gain
I'm [C]falling
Through the [G]cracks [C]I s[G]lip,
[F]I slip

[Outro 1]
Through the cracks I [C]slip
(Through the cracks I [G]slip)
Through the cracks [F]I s[C]lip
