Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 You change in front of me

 your eyes get darker every day

 it happens quietly

your focus slowly burns away

 and if you'd let me hear

 the things you seem to wanna say

 though I'm late

I will wait to go until i know you're somewhere safe

and even if you chose

to lock yourself away

 if i listen close

i can almost hear you say

Chorus

once i was real

once I was somebody's child

once I could feel

Some feeling once in awhile

Once I was here

Once i was somebody's friend

once I appear

I will be real once again

You're falling into it

 An inescapable release

 Or something intimate

between the you that no one sees

 Is there a way inside

 You only hide from enemies

 'cause I'll wait

I'm afraid you won't get rid of me so easily

and even if you chose

to lock the world away

 if i listen close

i can almost hear you say

2nd Chorus

once i was real

once I had something to lose

once I could peel

Once I was harder to bruise

Once I was here

Once i was willing to bend

once I appear

I will be real once again

Solo

You've fallen farther than

 I've ever seen you fall before

 For me to wonder when

I'll recognize you anymore

 To see no light inside your eyes at all

To bang my head against the wall

And force myself to watch you pull away

 and even if you chose

to laugh the world away

 if i listen close

i can almost hear you say

Chorus

repeat 2x):

once i was real

once I was somebody's child

once I could feel

Some feeling once in awhile

Once I was here

Once i was somebody's friend

once I appear

I will be real once again

On the last Am chord only strum once, let ring out. This is my first chord sheet,

so I hope it's okay! :) ~Jessica
