[Intro]
Bm  A  G  D x4

[Verse 1]
Bm             A        
 These turning wheels in 
     G          D
the back of my head
         Bm          A    
And they spin on for hours 
      G           D
even when I'm in bed
           Bm        A 
And there's  more to go, 
          G         D
but the road's so cold
           Bm              A  
We've been walking here forever 
       G            D
it's stinging the bone

[Verse 2]
Bm       A             G      D
 Talking tough but the love deprived
       Bm                   A    
Slowly coasting through the water
            G       D
 till we're fully revived
          Bm     A     G     
And those  three words written 
        D
on my mind
       Bm            A    
Is a reminder of the times
         G          D
 that we felt most alive

[Chorus]
        D                  
Another mistake drowning at 
                 G
the bottom of a dark lake
                          Bm  
And even if we're to deep now,
            A                  G
 I'd rather be here than swim away
        D                          
Another thick haze, falling through
                     G
 the air just like a dead weight
                          Bm   
But even if the sky falls down, 
            A                 G
I'd rather be here than run away

[Post-Chorus]
                            D
We're far past fighting the change
         G
Hmm-hmm, hmm
We're far past fighting
     Bm     A   G
 the change

[Instrument]
Bm  A  G  D x2

[Verse 3]
Bm     A               
 Still broke but we're 
G            D
running this town
       Bm            A
We got roots deep as hell
        G        D
Digging into the ground
           Bm  A       
And there's  silence at
   G      D
 a ridges house
            Bm          A      
Where we're comfortable together
          G        D
 without making a sound

[Instrument]
Bm  A  G  D

[Verse 4]
Bm   A    G                D
 Memories float through my brain
        Bm              
Hard to see what we were
 A                G       D
 thinking were we fully insane
     Bm       A     G     
Those  twelve words written
          D
 on your mind's
   Bm           A         
Reminder of the crazy that 
    G          D
we somehow survived

And even if we're too deep now, 
            A                  G
I'd rather be here than swim away
        D                          
Another thick haze, falling through
                     G
 the air just like a dead weight
                          Bm   
And even if the sky falls down,

 I'd rather be here than run away

[Post-Chorus]
                            D
We're far past fighting the change
    G
Oh, Oh
                            Bm     A
We're far past fighting the change
         G
Hmm-hmm, hmm
                            D
We're far past fighting the change
