Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

C G Am

Gray November, I’ve been down since July

F C

Motion capture, put me in a bad light

G Am

I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone

F C

Trying to find the one where I went wrong

G

Writing letters

Am F

Addressed to the fire

Chorus

C

And I was catching my breath

G Am

Staring out an open window

F

Catching my death

C

And I couldn’t be sure

G Am

I had a feeling so peculiar

F

This pain wouldn’t be for

G

Evermore

Verse 2

C

Hey December

G Am

Guess I’m feeling unmoored

F

Can’t remember

C

What I used to fight for

G Am

I rewind the tape but all it does is pause

F C

On the very moment all was lost

G

Sending signals

Am F

To be double crossed

Chorus

C

And I was catching my breath

G Am

Barefoot in the wildest winter

F

Catching my death

C

And I couldn’t be sure

G Am

I had a feeling so peculiar

F

This pain wouldn’t be for

G

Evermore

Bridge

F C

Can’t not think of all the cost

G Am

And the things that will be lost

F

Oh, can we just get a pause?

C G

To be certain we’ll be tall again

Am F

Whether weather be the frost

C G

Or the violence of the dog days

Am F

I’m on waves, out being tossed

C G

Is there a line that I could just go cross?

Outro / Verse 3

F

And when I was shipwrecked

C

I thought of you

G

In the cracks of light

Am

I dreamed of you

F

It was real enough

C

To get me through

G

But I swear

Am

You were there

Chorus

C

And I was catching my breath

G Am

Floors of a cabin creaking under my step

F C

And I couldn’t be sure

G Am F

When you’re young, you just run, but you come back to what you need

C

And I couldn’t be sure

G Am

I had a feeling so peculiar

F

This pain wouldn’t be for

G

Evermore
