Back

Nothing To Give Tab

by White Lies


like live performances,
only use single stroke*

 
You talked me to sleep last night
                
I hadn't felt that sad in years

Your eyes like glass mistakes
            
They moved me close to tears
                      
You speak those favourite fables which I'm yet to live

And casually confirm my fears
                          
That I've got nothing to give

                                      
I wish I could say that I've got no regrets
                                             
But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk
                                       
I wish I could say I've come to time like old
                               
But as you said goodbye, I almost died

I almost died

* use same format as before :)


I take it back, all of it
Those names I called myself
The heroes of my childhood
Like hardbacks on the shelf
I take it back those promises I made to everyone
I'm falling through a ribbon last
Before I'd learned to run

I wish I could say that I've got no regrets
But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk
I wish I could say I've come to time like old

But as you said goodbye, I almost died
I almost died
I almost died
