Verse 1:
G                                  
I would dig a thousand holes to 
Cadd9
lay next to you
Em                      D5                  
I would dig a thousand more if I 
       Cadd9
needed to

Verse 2:
G
I look around the grave for an 
  Cadd9
escape route of old routines
        D5            G5               
There doesn't seem to be any other 
     Cadd9
way

Chorus:
      E5                   G5                        
Cause I've started falling apart 
                    Cadd9
I'm not savouring life
        D5                                    
I've forgotten how good it 
      G5               Cadd9
could be to feel alive

Verse 3:
G5                                   
Crazy as it sounds you won’t feel
    Cadd9
as low as you feel right now
    Em                                        
At least that's what I've been 
 D5              Cadd9
told by everyone
D5               G5                    
I whisper empty sounds in your ear 
     Cadd9                   Am
and hope that you won't let go
Cadd9               Am
Take the pieces and build them skywards

Chorus:
      E5                   G5                        
Cause I've started falling apart 
                    Cadd9
I'm not savouring life
        D5                                    
I've forgotten how good it 
      G5               Cadd9
could be to feel alive

 Take the pieces and build them up 
        Cadd9
