a thousand layers
(C) (G)
of paint-like years
(Am) F
the secret’s in
(C) (G)
congested grins
(Am) F (C) (G)
I….I’m trying to find places to breathe now
[(C)horus]
(C) F
and if this were a book
(C) F
I’d call this song the final chapter
(Am) Em
and if you read it
F
you’d be laughin’
(C) (G) (Am)
if it could end right now
(C) (G) (Am)
the last lines would be
[Verse]
(Am) F
my body jolted in
(C) (G)
and out of stolen sound waves
(Am) F (C)

(Am) F (C) (G)
