Matthew P. Haubert
(E♭m)
We sit like evidence
On opposite sides of the bed
(B♭m)
Your eyes won’t land on me
They trace your phone instead
(G♭)
I line up apologies
Like pills a clockwork take
(B♭m)
You breathe like you’re leaving
(E♭m)
But you stay
long enough that we both break
Pre-Chorus
(A♭m)
There’s a tremor in your voice
(Cb)
When you say my name
Like our love will collapse
If you don’t say
Chorus
(G♭ – let ring)
We don’t say innocent
(D♭)
We don’t say blame
(E♭m)
We just count the damage
(A♭m)
And call it a day
(G♭)
I loved you the best
(D♭)
Atleast I think I tried to
(E♭m – pull back hard)
But me loving you
(A♭m – low, unresolved)
Was a crime for two
Instrumental Space
(E♭m – single notes, right hand only)
2 bars. Almost nothing.
Verse 2
(E♭m)
I learned how to disappear
Before I learned speak
B♭m)
Bottled it hidden I said for saftey
You call it decay
(G♭)
You wanted the man
I kept promising you everyday
(B♭m)
I kept giving you lies
And swearing they were that man, and he would stay
Pre-Chorus
(A♭m)
Your hands start shaking
(Cb major)
When the anger gets louds
We are both on trial now
And there’s no way out so we say
Chorus
(G♭)
We don’t say innocent
(D♭)
We don’t say wrong
(E♭m)
We let the silence
(A♭m)
Finish the song
(G♭)
I needed you
(D♭)
to try to fell anything
(E♭m)
You needed a man
(A♭m)
with a future in hand
Bridge
(B♭m – rare lift, very soft)
and if I could erase
Every broken wall
I think we would have still
Ended up here
(A♭m)
I’m not asking forgiveness
(E♭m)
I know what I’ve done
(D♭ – hold, unresolved)
I just hate
That I know you were you were the one
Final Chorus
(G♭ – fuller, but restrained)
We don’t say innocent
We don’t say free
We just let the truth out
put its hands on me
(E♭m – drop to almost nothing)
You walk away clean
(A♭m → E♭m)
And I stay guilty
Outro
(E♭m – low octave, let decay)
Turn out the light
Leave the door cracked for the night
I know that your leaving
But give me that hope youll come back
