🎶 Before The Line

Tone: [A#]
Verse 1:
[A#] I used to [Em]smile at every star and thank the [A#]sky
[A#] Now I look [Em]up to all the duds [A#]and wonder why
I feel [D7]like all of them are gone
[Fbm] Can't feel a single one

Verse 2:
And [A#]so I [Em]stretch my eyes across the land and [A#]sea
I [A#]know I loved [Em]the world, but now it's flat [A#]to me
Oh, tell me, [D7]did someone snatch the light?
[Fbm] Why doesn't it look right?

Chorus:
[A#] I made a [F#]promise, but I [Em]break it every day
[A#] It's not my [F#]fault, for I was [Em]promised just the same
[G#m]Once I saw fire, and all I know [B#]is something happened
Did I let it [Em][A#]go?

Interlude:
[Fbm] [A#]
Verse 3:
Now every morning since the [Em]line between my lives
[A#] I greet the sun and ask, "Have [Em]I already died?
If not, [D7]then why am I alone?
[Fbm] And when can I come home?"

Bridge:

Oh, and I am lying when I say
It's time to let her float [Cb]away
No, I'm still clawing for the [E]strings
Oh, I'd do any xxxxing [Fbm]thing
I know I have to close the [Dm]door
Too much to miss it [Cb]anymore

I think that this really is it
[E] I'll have to take what I can get

I'll have to take what I can get

What I can get

Chorus:
[A#] I made a [F#]promise, but I [Em]break it every day
[A#] It's not my [F#]fault, for I was [Em]promised just the same
[G#m]Once I saw fire, and all I know [B#]is something happened
Did I let it [Em][A#]go?
[A#] I made a [F#]promise, but I [Em]break it every day
[A#] It's not my [F#]fault, for I was [Em]promised just the same
[G#m]Once I saw fire, and all I know [B#]is something happened

Did I let it go?
[G#m]Once I saw fire, and all I know [B#]is something happened

Did I let it go?⠀
