Verse-
C
Like a lit cigarette to your lips when it fit.
Am7 F
Like the lung to your heart that it loaths 'cause it wasn't always broke.
C
Holding on so long for something that it loves.
C
Like the hole in the yard that we dug so far.
Am7 F
When you left for so long and forgot 'cause the grass had grown so tall.
C
Erasing all we thought and when I get close I fall.
Prechorus-
Em F
You say life has got you down.
Em F
A steady course we're breaking out.
Chorus-
C
This isn't what you thought it was. I should have known this from the start.
Gadd4
Like twenty miles of catacombs. And now you're with me in my heart.
F C
Looking on so far, saying "There, I've got you now."
Verse-
C
It's the goals in your mind that you left behind.
Am7 F
C
If you blur it just enough you might see what you want.
C
Now the dirt from the yard blew away so far.
Am7 F
Growing more each day 'til we saw it became a mountain range.
C
And I just stared and blinked, wishing I could change.
Prechorus-
Em F
Say, life has got you down.
Em F
Set a course, you're breaking out.
Em F
Find the will to make it now.
Em F
Before our time runs out.
C
