I [B]wish that I could tell you the truth
Even if I'm [Emaj7]trapped in a rewind
[E]Rewinding right in front of the eye
I [B]ran towards the end of the line
I heard your voice but missed you in [Emaj7]time
I followed every end of the [Em]signs
But the clock tower bell only struck [B]nine
When the [B]sun sets on this side of my [G#m]mind
[E]Only when the ashes fell on the film in my hands
Did I know[B]
[B]There will be a fire when it all unfolds
We should bury the treasure along with all we [G#m]know
But I couldn't [F#]save you, but I couldn't [E]make it to you
Trapped in endings I don't want you to [B]know
So long to a bursting wave of blinding [B]lights
[F#]But we fought the tides, we fought the [G#m]tides
Till the river [F#]dried, we splash velvet [E]dye in the sky
Standing still in front of the [B]eye
