Bm G A D Em
[Intro]: D Bm A G x2
[Verse 1]
D Bm A G
Lying next to you, wishing I could disappear, ay,
D Bm A G
let you fall asleep and vanish out into thin air, ay ayy...
Bm G D A
It's the elephant in the room and we pretend that we don't see it...
Bm G Em A
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads, that we don't believe in...
[Chorus]
D Bm A G
Trying to be perfect, trying not to let you down, yeah...
D Bm A G
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now, yeah.
Bm G
While the floors underneath our feet are crumbling,
D A
the walls we built together, tumbling,
Bm G Em
I still stand here holding up the roof,
A
cuz it's easier than telling the truth...
Bm G D A...

I still keep your photographs, I remember how we used to laugh...

While the floors underneath our feet are crumbling,

the walls we built together, tumbling,
Bm G Em
I still stand here holding up the roof,
A
cuz it's easier than telling the truth...
[Bridge]
Bm A G
Stop ignoring that our hearts are mourning, and let the rain come in...
Bm A G A Bm A
Stop pretending that it's not ending, and let the end begin...
G D Bm A G
oh, yeah....
[Chorus]
D Bm A G
Trying to be perfect, trying not to let you down, yeah...

Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now, yeah.

It's easier than telling the truth...
