I spent my time [Em] watching [F#m] the [G] spaces that had [C] grown between us, and I cut my mind [Em] on the second [A] best,
Oh [G] the scars that come with [C] the greenness, and I gave my [Em] eyes to the boredom,
[G] Still the seabed wouldn't [C] let me in, and I tried my best [G] to embrace the [A] darkness [G] in [C] which I swam.
[Em] Oh the darkness [G] in which [C] I swam.
Now walking back [Em] down this mountain, [F#] all the [G] strength of a [C] turning tide,
Yeah the wind so soft [Em] at my [F#] skin, [G] oh the sun so hot upon [C] my side,
Oh looking out [Em] at this happiness, [G] I circled between [C] the sheets,
Oh feeling blind [Em] to realize, [F#m] [G] all I was [C] searching for was me.

Then [Em] he knew, [G] oh he knew the depths I [C] was meaning,
And it felt so good [G] to see his face,
Oh the comfort invested [C] in my soul, oh to feel the warmth [Em] of his smile,
[Bm] He said I'm happy to have [C] you home,
[Em] Oh, oh, [G] oh, I'm happy to [Em] have you home,
And I showed my heart, it hasn't seen it again,
And I [G] left it up for [C] being so cruel,
And I left these broken bottles, [Em] and these old red [D] doors,
And [G] I walked [C] right home through,
