Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][F#m][Bm][F#m][G][A][D]
[A]Christ on the cross,

[Verse 1]
[F#m]
[Bm]no more ro[F#m]om, ju[D]st slide o[A]ff[D]
[A]Meet on [F#m]the wire, [Bm]no more li[F#m]nes,
can[G]?t climb [A]higher

[Verse 2]
So [G]from your new plateau you writhe and [A]wait,
For something real to
shake your [G]bones,
[D]To turn you back in[G]to [A]a per[F#m] son[A]

[Verse 3]
[A]You [D]sub[A]let[F#m] the s[D]pac[Bm]e,[F#m][D][G][A][D][A]
[F#m]cut yo[Bm]ur cost s,[F#m] flipped[G] off fate[A][D]
And [A]watched while she [F#m]packed, [Bm]cried and cried,
[F#m]but no "co[G]me back"[A]

[Verse 4]
[G]You figured you could sit
around [A]and wait,
For love this real to [D]just pop [G]up,
To fall from trees,
to ride on [A]rainstorms

[Verse 5]
[G]
Convinced it was [D]worth it,
[G]you swore it was [Bm]worth [A]it[G]
You said it was [D]worth it
through [A]the first hit

[Verse 6]
[Em]
But back [D]amongst the dirt
and [Bm]spent [A]grass[Em]
The empty cof[D]fee cups,
[A]the green [Em]glass
The basement [D]brokering and
[Bm]side [A]bet[Em]s
The puzzle [D]pieces in [A]the tool shed

[Verse 7]
[G]I think you can b[D]uild i[G]t,
I think you can [Em]build [A]it
[G]I know you can b[D]uild it
cause I [A]built it

[Verse 8]
[A](Convinced it [G]was wor[D]th it,
[G]You swore it was [Bm]worth it
[A]You[G] said it was wor[D]th it
through the [A]first hit)

[Verse 9]
[A]Back [G]before you mov[D]ed so fast
[G]And traced your veins with
[Bm]splintered [A]glass
Your [G]lazy eyes [D]aligned to find [A]a purpose,
[D]a p[F#m]urpose[Bm]

[Outro 1]
