okay on both piano and guitar :)

Verse 1:
F Dm F Dm
You tremble like you'd seen a ghost and i gave in
F Dm F Dm
I lack the things you need the most you said, where have you been
F Dm F Dm
You wasted all that sweetness to run and hide, I wonder why
F Dm F Dm
I remind you of the days you poured your heart into, but you never tried

I've fallen from grace

Took a blow to my face

I've loved and I've lost
C
I've loved and I've lost
Chorus:
Bb Dm F
Explosions...on the day you wake up
F Dm C Am
Needing somebody and you've learned
Bb F
It's okay to be afraid
Bb F Dm
But it will never be the same
F Dm
It will never be the same
Verse 2:
F Dm
You left my soul bleeding in the dark
F Dm
So you could be king
F Dm F Dm
The rules you set are still untold to me and I lost faith in everything

The nights you could cope, your intentions were gold

But the mountains will shake

Bridge:
Dm
And as the floods move in
F
And your body starts to sink
Gm
I was the last thing on your mind
Bb
I know you better than you think
Dm C Gm
Cause it's simple darling, I gave you a warning
Bb Dm
Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces
F Gm
So watch them fall with you, in slow motion
Bb
I pray that you will find peace of mind
Dm
And I'll find you another time
C Gm
I'll love you, another time

Explosions...on the day you wake up

It will never be the same
