Verse 1
Dmaj7                            C#m
Pride in myself was something i swore would never die
Dmaj7                          C#m
Gaining respect means giving up a past life
Dmaj7                      C#m
The illusion crafted by my arrogance
     Dmaj7                            C#m
had protected me from the wrong that I couldn't admit

Pre-Chorus 1
Dmaj7                            C#m7
Now I lay across the dust ridden floor
                                         Dmaj7
Knowing now that regrets shouldn’t be ignored
                                         C#m7
Left to waste, now i see how you must've felt
                                      Dmaj7
When the world began to change and I followed

Chorus 1
Dmaj7                               C#m7
Floods of memories drown me in the abyss
                                                  Dmaj7
Ceiling fades, empty space, hanging barely from a cliff
                          C#m
that's thousands of feet tall
          Dmaj7 C#m
and now I fall
      Dmaj7
Now I fall
  C#m
into oblivion

Verse 2
Dmaj7                  C#m
Landing back at the beginning of our prime
               Dmaj7                                   C#m
We'd built ourselves and our kingdom in the summer sun
C#m
one brick at a time

Pre-Chorus 2
Dmaj7                                      C#m7
Now those walls are nothing but rubble and dust
                                                Dmaj7
What was once silver lining of us has turned to rust
                                             C#m7
In those days when we’d fight our demons together
                               Dmaj7
If we had started over, oh, I wonder

Chorus 2
Dmaj7                                C#m7
Would I be descending through the darkness,
                                      Dmaj7
through the fire and the rain and the mist?
                                           C#m
would the air fail to catch me as I failed to catch you?
               Dmaj7 C#m
Would we have fallen
  Dmaj7
fallen
  C#m
into oblivion?

Bridge
Dmaj7
      Alone in this empty room
C#m
    All I hear now is the
Dmaj7          C#m
Ambience of our faded tune
     Dmaj7            C#
How fragile of me to break so easily
      D
Fear took the lead, now
C#             N.C.
I'm still falling

Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 C#m
Dmaj7 C#m
          Ooh, oh
 Dmaj7  C#m
Falling
  Dmaj7   C#m      Dmaj7  C#m  Dmaj7
Falling into oblivion
C#m
Into oblivion
