[Verse]
C#
Gray November
                     F#
I've been down since July
C#
Motion capture
            F#
Put me in a bad light
C#                     
I replay my footsteps on 
                 F#
each stepping stone
Trying to find the one 
              C#
where I went wrong
C#
Writing letters
                 F#
Addressed to the fire

[Chorus]
          C#
And I was catching my breath
C#
Staring out an open window
F#
Catching my death
      C#
And I couldn't be sure
                      F#
I had a feeling so peculiar
F#
That this pain would be for
C#           F#

[Verse]
C#
Hey December
                  F#
Guess I'm feeling unmoored
C#
Can't remember
               F#
What I used to fight for
C#                       
I rewind thе tape but all 
             F#
it does is pause
F#
On the vеry moment, all was lost
C#
Sending signals
             F#
To be double-crossed

[Chorus]
          C#
And I was catching my breath
C#
Barefoot in the wildest winter
F#
Catching my death
      C#
And I couldn't be sure
                      F#
I had a feeling so peculiar
F#
That this pain would be for
C#
Evermore
F#
(Evermore)

[Bridge]
          G#                      A#m7
Can't not think of all the cost
                                 F#
And the things that will be lost
        G#                     A#m7
Oh, can we just get a pause?
                                  F#
To be certain we'll be tall again
        G#                    A#m7
Whether weather be the frost
                                F#
Or the violence of the dog days
       G#                        A#m7
I'm on waves, out being tossed
Is there a line that I could 
               F#
just go cross?

[Bridge]
And when I was shipwrecked
        G#
 (Can't think of all the cost)
  A#m7                   
I thought of you (And the 
                                F#
things that will be lost, oh)
                            G#
In the cracks of light (Can we
 just get a pause?)
  A#m7                               
I dreamed of you (To be certain we'll
                        F#
 be tall again, if you think of all the costs)
                   
It was real enough 
         G#
(Whether weather be the frost)
   A#m7
To get me through 
(Or the violence of the dog days)
                                 F#
(Or the violence of the dog days)
(I'm on waves, out being tossed)
         G#
 (I'm on waves, out being tossed)
  A#m7                      
I swear (Is there a line that
                      C#
 we could just go cross?)
C#              F# C# F#
You were there

[Chorus]
          C#
And I was catching my breath
                           F#
Floors of a cabin creaking under my step
      C#
And I couldn't be sure
                      F#
I had a feeling so peculiar
F#
This pain wouldn't be for
C#
Evermore
     F#
Evermore
     C#
Evermore
                       F#
This pain wouldn't be for evermore
     C#   F#
Evermore
