🎶 Before The Line

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

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

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

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

Bridge:

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

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

I'll have to take what I can get

What I can get

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

Did I let it go?
[Ab]Once I saw fire, and all I know [Bb]is something happened

Did I let it go?
