Started [F]whispering. The weight was yours [C]alone [G]

Always [F]feels like its the moment that you'[C]you've los[G]lost
Pre-chorus:
And I'll[Am]I'll be right here. 'Til those [Em]flames appear

Bridge:
[F]Woah, I think it's high [C]time that you fall apart and[G]and (Hey)
You're suff[Am]suffocating keeping [G]up that guard [F]and (Woah)
You can't hold that A[C]Appalachian charm up anym[G]anymore (Hey)
