[Intro]
[Strophe]
           D 
All of the black and white 
           Bm 
All of the contours... 
                A 
are laid out before me now...  
          G 
to leave a trace
[Strophe]
                D 
With all of the light and shame... 
               Bm 
we take up our own space 
             A 
I'll find my own way back,.. 
            G 
back to the past tense
[Refrain]
  Em                  A 
A lifeline to highs and lows... 
              D 
to seeing the bright side 
             Bm 
And I should know  
  Em               A 
We wait for the afterglow... 
             D 
to cover the blind side 
             Bm 
And I should know
[Strophe]
           D 
All of the empty thoughts 
           Bm 
All of the outlines... 
               A 
are laid out before us now... 
           G 
to leave a trace
[Strophe]
            D 
All of your words and mine,.. 
            Bm 
they keep returning 
             A 
I'll find my own way back,... 
            G 
back to the silence
[Refrain]
  Em                  A 
A lifeline to highs and lows... 
              D 
to seeing the bright side 
             Bm 
And I should know  
  Em               A 
We wait for the afterglow... 
             D 
to cover the blind side 
             Bm 
And I should know
[Refrain]
Em                      A 
I've given up all I can... 
D                         Bm 
I've given up all I can... 
Em                      A 
I've given up all I can... 
D 
I've given up all I can...
