[Intro, 0:00]

 Am   F   Am   F   Am


[Verses 1 & 2, 0:08]

 Am          F           Am         F              Am
     Let it out, let it out..... fill the empty space.
          F                C              G 
 So insecure,  find the words and let it out.
 
 Am           F              Am       F               Am
     Staring down... staring down... nothing comes to mind.
             F                C          G 
 Find the place, turn the water into wine.


[Pre-chorus 1, 0:41, distorted picking]

 F                           Am
    But I feel I'm getting nowhere.
 F                         Em    G
    And I'll never see the end.


[Chorus 1, 0:57]     

       C  G         Am             F
 So I wither, and render myself helpless.
    C    G       Am              F
 I give in, and everything is clear.
     C    G       F                       Am
 I breakdown and let the story guide me.


[Verse 3 & 4, 1:23, same music as verse 1]

 Turn it on, turn it on.. Let the feelings flow
 Close your eyes.  See the ones you used to know

 Open up, open up.. Don't struggle to relate
 Lure it out.. Help the memory escape


[Pre-chorus 2, 1:56, same music as pre-chorus 1]

 Still this barrenness consumes me.
 And I feel like giving up.


[Chorus 2, 2:11, same music as chorus 1]

 So I wither, and render myself helpless.
 I give in, and everything is clear.
 I breakdown, and let the story guide me.
 I wither, and give myself away.


[Pre-prelude 3, 2:46, ]
                          F
 Like reflections on the page...
      G                  F   G   Am..  F   G   Am...
 The world's what you create.


[Prelude, 2:54]

 TBD...


[Bridge 1, 3:10]

      F          G         Am
 I drown in hesitation, my words come crashing down.
     F               C      Am
 And all my best creations burn into the ground.
       F                 G      C       C/B   Am
 The thought of starting over, leaves me paralyzed.
          F           C               G       
 Tear it out again. Another one that got away.

 
[Chorus 3, 3:43, softer, same music as chorus 2]


[Guitar solo, 3:59]

 TBD...


[Chorus 4, 4:16, same music as chorus 1]


[Pre-outro, 4:51, same as pre=prelude]

 Like reflections on the page...
 The world's what you create.


[Outro, 4:59]
      F                  Am  F  Am         
 The world's what you create.
         F          Am
 Let it out, let it out.
