[Verse]
F C Cmaj7
All of my friends with their lives slowly falling to pieces
F C Cmaj7
So I bite my tongue and I realize I don't know what peace is
F C Cmaj7
And the birds on the garden gate are singing but I cannot hear them
F C Cmaj7
And I stay within bedroom walls patiently waiting to be near them
[Chorus]
F C
Oh, I've fallen down a well
Cmaj7 F
With a ladder made of vines
C
And I can't move either leg
Cmaj7 F
But all my friends can climb out fine
Fm
So I'll watch them climb
[Verse]
F C Cmaj7
Picking apart every word that you say so I get it (I get it)
F C Cmaj7
Trying to bargain with demons that I know I'll regrеt it (regret it)
F C Cmaj7
My blood splatterеd on the trees, from miles away I can feel you
F C Cmaj7
It took all my energy to finally discover the real you
[Chorus]
F C
Oh, I'm tired of falling down a well
Cmaj7 F
With a ladder made of vines
C
And I can't move either leg
Cmaj7 F
But all my friends can climb out fine
Fm
So I'll watch them climb
[Bridge]
F Fm C C7
And I notice you so desperately waiting for me to come back
F Fm C C7
In the darkest parts of my memories, I'm there with you in the black
F Fm
When did I get so old?
C C7
When did my hands start to crack from the pressure
F Fm
To make myself palatable?
C D
I'm just getting by with the hope
F
That I'll escape from the well
Fm
Taking my time from the center of hell
C D
I'll watch myself climb and as I see the light of a fire that stands all alone
F Fm C
I'll see the world has been waiting for me to come home
C Cmaj7
[Verse]
F C Cmaj7
Scrubbing the skin where you touched me until I'm exhausted
F C Cmaj7
I still feel the weight of your words in the air like I'm haunted
F C Cmaj7
I stare out at the trees and wonder where I'd be if I gave in
F C Cmaj7
Would I ever leave or would I still be in your haven
F
Oooh
All of my friends, with their lives slowly falling to pieces
So I bite my tongue, and I realize I don't know what peace is
And the birds on the garden gate are singing but I cannot hear them
And I stay within bedroom walls, patiently waiting to be near them
Oh
I've fallen down a well
With a ladder made of vines
And I can't move either leg
But all my friends can climb out fine
So I'll watch them climb
Picking apart every word that you say so I get it
(I get it)
Trying to bargain with demons that know I'll regret it
(Regret it)
My blood splattered on the trees from miles away, I can feel you
It took all my energy to finally discover the real you
Oh, I'm tired
Of falling down a well
With a ladder made of vines
And I can't move either leg
But all my friends can climb out fine
So I'll watch them climb
And I notice you so desperately waiting for me to come back
In the darkest parts of my memories I'm there with you in the black
When did I get so old
When did my hands start to crack from the pressure to make myself palatable
I'm just getting by with the hope
That I'll escape from the well
Taking my time
From the center of hell
I'll watch myself climb and as I see the light of a fire that stands all alone
I'll see that the world has been waiting for me to come home
Scrubbing the skin where you touched me until I'm exhausted
I still feel the weight of your words in the air like I'm haunted
I stare out at the trees and wonder where I'd be if I gave in
Would I ever leave, or would I still be in your haven
Oh
