Intro: D--C--G---


Verse 1:
                
  I dont care to know
                
The time on the wall
                 
The placement of my
                  
shoes on the wood floor
                  
The last boat has left
                
Cant carry you afloat
                     
I fear the empty wet bed
               
The empty grey coat
             
And i wont go till you're 
      
asleep You open your mouth
                 
Like an asthma attack you repeat


Refrain 1:
    
"If all that 
    
you take from 
       
this is courage 
              
then i've no regrets"


Chorus 1:
  
I wanted to kiss 
you goodnight
          
No longer can pretend
   
It wont cave in and 
         
will be alright
  
I wanted to save 
this last light
                
With dawn comes certainty 
   
of what we'll be
               
For now hold me lightly
                    
(For now hold me light)


Verse 2:
               
  I look to the floor
Your hair like cut 

grass Your vomit
   
It forms a gold 
                 
chain round your neck
                
I wont make you up
                 
No need for last words
                
These last idle hours
              
More than i desereve


Refrain 2:
                   
"you take from this is oh
                     
courage than i've no regrets"


Chorus 2:
  
I wanted to kiss 
you goodnight
          
No longer can pretend
   
It wont cave in and 
         
will be alright
  
I wanted to save 
this last light
                
With dawn comes certainty 
   
of what we'll be
               
For now hold me lightly


Bridge:
     
Dont settle for less again

You've become more
       
Than i could have become for 
    
you Could have inspired to be
                    
Hesitation will leave dents 
                     
on the walls and the rail
And your scent will leave 
                           x2
me with more faith in myself


Chorus 3:
  
I wanted to kiss you goodnight
          
No longer can pretend
   
It wont cave in and 
         
will be alright

Wanted to tell you i lied
                              
I said i'd make it through this world 
                          
alright but i dont care to try
   
I'd make it through this 
                         ---Gm(hold)
world but i dont care to try
