Verse 1, Part 1 - Piano to Guitar 2
  Em                        Gsus2 
I see you there, don't know where you come from
C           Am
Unaware but still from someone
Em              Gsus2           C         Am
Don't appear to care that I saw you and I want you
Em                        Gsus2 
What's your name? Cause I have to know it
    C             Am
You let me in and begin to show it
      Em                    Gsus2               C  
We're terrified cause we're headed straight for it
      Am 
Might get it

All alone but you're turnin up now
    Em          Gsus2         C       Am
And everyone is risin to meet ya, to greet you
Em                     Gsus2 
Turn around and you're walking toward me
    C                        Am
I'm breakin' down and you're breathing slowly

Verse 2
Em                  Gsus2
Come close and then even closer
   C                  Am
We bring it in but we go no further
      Em           Gsus2         C          Am   
We're separate two ghosts in one mirror, no nearer
Em             Gsus2
Later on if it turns to chaos
C               Am 
Hurricane comin all around us
Em                     Gsus2         C 
See the crack, pull it back from the window
         Am
You stay low

Chorus

Post-Chorus - No Guitar 2

Bridge, Part 1 - No Guitar 2
Come across you're lost and broken
You're coming to, but you're slow and waking
You Start to shake, you still haven't spoken, what happened
They're comin back and you just don't know it
and you wanna cry but there's nothing coming
They're gonna push until you give in
Say when

Bridge, Part 2 - Guitar 2 comes in
Em                    Gsus2
Now we're here and it turns to chaos
C               Am 
Hurricane comin all around us
Em                             Gsus2         C 
They're gonna crack, don't you back from the window
         Am
You stay low
Em                Gsus2
It all began with the man and country
C                Am
Every plan turns another century 
Em               Gsus2         C   Am 
Around again and another nation fallen
