Db                      Ab/C
I'm always assuming the worst
                             Db7
But you're going on none the less
                                    Gb
And there's nothing to cushion your heart
       Db
Let it fall

Db                   Ab/C
Letters from further away
                      Db7
Keep pulling me close to home

And there's something to cushion
   Gb      Db
My callous eyes


Db                           Ab/C       Db7
And I know that you hope for longer goodbyes
                 Gb
Embracing for forever
                    Db
And falling in your eyes
        Ab/C       Db7  Gb Db
In your eyes, your eyes


[Chorus]


Db      Fm        Gb          Db             Ab
Pouring over photographs, I'm living in your letters
Db                       Fm
Breathe deeply from this envelope it smells like you
    Gb         Db                        Ab
And I can't be without that scent, it's filling me
Db                  Fm      Gb  Db  Ab
With all you mean to me, to me


[Verse 2]

Db                         Ab/C
Continually failing these trials
                             Db7
But you stand by me none the less
                                     Gb
And you won't let me sink though I'm begging you
    Db
I'm begging you


                         Ab/C
Phone calls from further away
                   Db7
And messages on my machine

But I don't ever tell you
     Gb             Db
This distance seems terrible


                           Ab/C               Db7
There's no need to test my heart with useless space
                  Gb
These roads go on forever
                    Db
They'll always be a place
    Ab/C       Db7   Gb Db
For you, in my heart

[Coda]

   Db                         Gb                   Db/F Gb Db/F
So I'll hit the pavement it's gotta be better then waiting
    Db          Gb              Db/F   Gb Db/F
And pushing you far away 'cause I'm scared
   Db                       Gb             Db/F   Gb Db/F
So I'll take my chances and head on my way up there
       Db                     Gb                       Db/F Gb Db/F Db
'Cause turning to you is like falling love when you're ten
