[Intro]
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
 
[Verse]
Cmaj7       Fmaj7
We kept the distance
Cmaj7               Fmaj7
Kept it at no one's insistance
Cmaj7             Fmaj7
Pushed against no resistance
Cmaj7  Fmaj7
But ourselves
 
[Verse]
Cmaj7    Fmaj7
It's not complicated
Cmaj7      Fmaj7
Lovers get humiliated
Cmaj7                     Fmaj7
I wanted you but couldn't say it
Cmaj7    Fmaj7
Out loud
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7   Fmaj7
Ooh  oh ooooh
Cmaj7   Fmaj7
Oooooh
Cmaj7   Fmaj7
Ooh
 
[Verse]
Cmaj7                Fmaj7
There's a hole in my memory
Cmaj7                   Fmaj7
It's widening with each new entry
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
Blooming like a flower
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
Then everything falls through
 
[Verse]
Cmaj7          Fmaj7
Each death and redemption
Cmaj7                     Fmaj7
Each second of increasing tension
Cmaj7                  Fmaj7
In every ounce of pure prevention
Cmaj7   Fmaj7
We held to
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7   Fmaj7
Ooh  oh ooooh
Cmaj7   Fmaj7
Oooooh
Cmaj7   Fmaj7
Ooh
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm                     F
It caught, torn in the fabric
Dm                       F
Enthralled, drawn like a magnet
Dm                    F
But we keep, keep the distance
                       C       A#      Dm
Just in attempt to get by, get by, get by
C       A#      Dm
Get by, get by, get by
C       A#      Dm
Get by, get by, get by
Fmaj7
Get by
Fmaj7
Get by
Cmaj7
Get by
 
 
[Instrumental]
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
 
 
[Verse]
Cmaj7       Fmaj7
It's cool to miss you
Cmaj7                       Fmaj7
It would be cooler still to kiss you
Cmaj7                     Fmaj7
If you heading out then I insist you
Cmaj7  Fmaj7
Make a move
 
[Verse]
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
But if it's not the moment
Cmaj7             Fmaj7
But bottle up the breath I'm holding
Cmaj7       Fmaj7
Sorry to my seratonin
Cmaj7    Fmaj7
Some bad news
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7          Fmaj7
Ooh  oh ooooh (Aah)
Cmaj7   Fmaj7
Oooooh
Cmaj7   Fmaj7
Ooh
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm                     F
It caught, torn in the fabric
Dm                       F
Enthralled, drawn like a magnet
Dm                    F
But we keep, keep the distance
                       C       A#      Dm
Just in attempt to get by, get by, get by
C       A#      Dm
Get by, get by, get by
C       A#      Dm
Get by, get by, get by
Fmaj7
Goodbye
Fmaj7
Goodbye
Cmaj7
Goodbye
 
[Outro]
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
Cmaj7           Fmaj7
              We kept the distance
Kept it at no one's insistence
Pushing against no resistance but ourselves
It's not complicated
Lovers get humiliated
I wanted you but couldn't say it out loud

There's a hole in my memory
It's widening with each new entry
Blooming like a flower and everything falls through
Each death's a redemption
Each second of increasing tension
And every ounce of pure prevention we have too

We're caught
Torn in the fabric
Enthralled
Drawn like a magnet
But we keep, keep the distance
Just in attempt to get by, get by, get by
Get by, get by, get by
Get by, get by, get by
Get by, get by, get by

It's cool to miss you
It would be cooler still to kiss you
If you're heading out then I insist you make a move
But if it's not the moment
Then bottle up the breath I'm holding
Sorry to my serotonin
Some bad news

We're caught
Torn in the fabric
Enthralled
Drawn like a magnet
But we keep, keep the distance
Just in attempt to get by, get by, get by
Get by, get by, get by
Get by, get by, get by
Get by, get by, get by
