D
if i thought it would help i would drive this car into the sea
if the fire and smoke and explosions could speak for me
                             A                  Bm                      A
if the words that i used to try to explain how something inside of me started to break
         G             A
ah, but one by one my words just got in the way
D   A  G   A
 G                     A                 D
how many nights did i crash against the waves with my head going under
 G                   A                          D 
how many days did i spend trying to see it your way, if you try you remember
   Bm                      A               G                           A              Bm
i changed and changed and kept on saying "one of these days something inside's gonna break"
        A                      G      A
and we won't get it back now, baby (something's gonna break)

[Chorus]
      Bm                            A                      G      A
if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart
          Bm                            A                      G      A
and if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart
 D                        A                    Bm                     A
all of the things that i tried to explain how something inside of me started to break
         G                    A              D    A    G
we were living proof, one by one we drifted away
        A                   D    A    G    A
one by one we drifted away

[Verse 2]
G                           A                             D
time after time there were things that would scare me to tears, while you called me haunted
G                   A             D
i paced around the bed where you laid
                          G           A
one of these days, baby, something… (something's gonna break)

[Chorus]
      Bm                            A                       G       A
if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart
          Bm                            A                       G       A
and if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart
D                         A                    Bm                     A
all of the things that i tried to explain how something inside of me started to break
         G                    A
we were living proof, one by one we drifted away

[Bridge]
F#              G            Bm              A
…drifted away, drifted away… one by one and day by day
   G                      A                D
i became the dark in the places where you live

[Chorus]
      Bm                            A                       G      A
if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart
          Bm                             A                      G      A
and if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart
D                         A                    Bm                     A
all of the things that i tried to explain how something inside of me started to break
         G                    A              D     A    G
we were living proof, one by one we drifted away
        A              D     A    G
one by one we drifted away
         G  
we were living proof
        A              D
one by one we drifted away
