[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D Bm F#
You only feel it when it's lost
G D
Gettin' through still has a cost
Bm F#
Quietly, it slips through your fingers love
G D
Falling from you drop by drop
Bm F#
What I had left here I just held it tight
G D Bm
So someone with your eyes might come in time
F#
To hold me like water
G D
Or Christ, hold me like a knife
[Chorus]
D Bm
We're born at night
F#
So much of our lives
G D
Is just carvin' through the dark
Bm
To get so far
F#
And the hardest part
G
Is who we are
D
It's who we are
[Verse 2]
D Bm F#
You and I burned out our steam
G D
Chasing someone else's dream
Bm F#
How can somethin' be so much heavier
G D
But so much less than what it seems
Bm
Darling, we sacrificed
F# G D
We gave our time to somethin' undefined
Bm F#
This phantom life, it sharpens like an image
G D
But it sharpens like a knife
[Chorus]
D Bm
We're born at night
F#
So much of our lives
G D
Is just carvin' through the dark
Bm
To get so far
F#
And the hardest part
G
Is who we are
D
It's who we are
[Post-Chorus]

[Outro]
D Bm F#
You only feel it when it's lost
G D
Gettin' through still has its cost
Bm F#
Quietly, it slips through your fingers love
G D
Fallin' from you drop by drop
You only feel it when it's lost
Getting through still has a cost
Quietly, it slips through your fingers love
Falling from you drop by drop
What I had left here
I just held it tight
So someone with your eyes
Might come in time
To hold me like water
Or Christ
Hold me like a knife
We're born at night
So much of our lives
Is just carving through the dark
To get so far
And the hardest part
Is who we are
It's who we are
You and I burned out our steam
Chasing someone else's dream
How can something be so much heavier
But so much less than what it seems
Darling we sacrificed
We gave our time to something undefined
This phantom life
It sharpens like an image
But it sharpens like a knife
We're born at night
So much of our lives
Is just carving through the dark
To get so far
And the hardest part
Is who we are
It's who we are
You only feel it when it's lost
Getting through still has its cost
Quietly, it slips through your fingers love
Falling from you drop by drop
