Verse 1:
[Eb] Wore my shoes in your home.
I can’t stay [Eb] for far too long.
The little ray of light [Ab]
From the sky is fading by the minute.
I can’t [Gb#] wait [B#] anymore
Chorus:
[Eb] Those walls have turned us to ghosts.
The light in my eyes is not as [Eb] blinding.
We [Eb] live inside your hopes.
[Ab#] But I can’t keep it any higher, baby [E]
Verse 2:
I won’t shed your tears for [Eb] now.
[E] Don’t care about the temperature I see.
No amount of the [E] smoke can.
Change or save us this time, baby.
I know I’m [Ab] weak for your tears, so you [Gb#] cry.
Bought some [B#] time.
I know I hurt you, but [Eb] then again.
This shit’s [Eb] never been fair at all.
[Db] Used to dress you in innocence.
[Db] But it ripped somewhere in the fall.
[Eb] Sunshine burns
[Ab] No, I can’t unlearn.
The [Gb#] smile you lost when it’s [E#] over [B#]
Chorus:
[Eb] Wore my shoes in your home.
I [B#7] can’t stay for far too long.
The little [Ab#] ray of light.
From the sky is [Ab] fading [Ab#] by the minute.
I [Ab] can’t [Gb#] wait [B#] anymore [B#]
[Eb] Those walls have turned us to ghosts.
The light [Eb] in my eyes is not as blinding.
We live inside [Ab#] your hopes
But I can’t keep it any higher, [E] baby.
I won’t shed your tears for [E] now.
Sometimes you cause me some pain [B#7]
Sometimes I lie to [B#7] your face.
But you [Db#j7] know me.
I'll stay for years and [Ab#] hope that it changes.
I’m way too [E] high for your love.
I’m way too [Eb] high for your touch [Db]
I can’t be there [B#7] when you drown.
I can’t be there when you [Gb#] frown.
I’m way too [E] high for your love.
Outro:
I’m way too [B#7] high for your touch.
I can’t be [Db#] there when you [Ab#] drown.
