[Intro]
F
F Am C F

[Verse 1]
F
Falling, falling, falling
               Am
in unfamiliar space
            C
Cause I was drenched in you
                         F
before I even knew your name
F
Fading, fading, fading
                     Am
with the breath you take
         C
See your southern heart
                      F
 hiding behind a city face

C
Drowning out the fires
       F
As I'm lying here awake
      Am                 G
I can feel you slip away
                F
Like I knew you would
          C
Don't you leave me
in this silence
           F
When you've seen all my mistakes
        Am                  G
Now I'm looking for escapes
              F
Like I knew I would
