[Verse 1]
B F#m
I know exactly where I was
E
when I first saw you the
D
way I see you now,
through these eyes waiting to
A B
retry. Those pristine days, I
F#m
recall so fondly.
E D
So few are trials when a life
A
isn't lonely, and now if
only.
B F#m
I'd never felt it, I'd never
E
heard it. I know I loved
D
you, did I even deserve it
A B
when you returned it? There's
F#m
no suspicion, no hesitation.
E
Believing through the eyes of
B
sore adoration
[Chorus]
A F#m A
Witness and know Fracture
F#m
and hurt
A E A
Eyes in the fire Blink
D
unrehearsed
A B A
Shield like a house Closing
F#m
it's doors
A E A
Curved in the dark Rinses of
D
yours
F#m
[Verse 2]
B F#m
Ashtray is crowded, bottle is
E
empty. No music plays and
D
nothing moves without drifting
A B
into a memory. Busy
F#m
apartment, no room
for grieving.
E
Sink full of dishes and no
D
trouble believing that you
A
are leaving.
B F#m
Mid-sentence tremors, mind at
E
it's weakest. One way of
B
shaking off the thoughts that
it sleeps with.
[Chorus]
A F#m A
Witness and know Fracture
F#m
and hurt
A E A
Eyes in the fire Blink
D
unrehearsed
A B A
Shield like a house Closing
F#m
it's doors
A E A
Curved in the dark Rinses of
D
yours

[Verse 3]
B F#m
In walks the darkness I pitch
without you.
E
Asks me; "Do I realize what
D
I'd done and who I'd done to?"
A B
Indeed, I Do know. It never
F#m
leaves me, just visits less
often.
E D
It isn't gone and I won't feel
A
it's grip soften without a
coffin.
B F#m
Breathing beside me, feeling
E
it's warmness, phantom
B
affection gives a human
performance.
[Chorus]
A F#m A
Witness and know Fracture
F#m
and hurt
A E A
Eyes in the fire Blink
D
unrehearsed
A B A
Shield like a house Closing
F#m
it's doors
A E A
Curved in the dark Rinses of
D
yours
