Like two ships in the night we're colliding and sinking
Into the black sea of our love
We navigated past the port of logical thinking
Lost sight of the stars up above
Now my heart is a mess
Murder scene in my chest
Not a clue how you got through the door
But I'm glad that you came
No regret and no shame
As I'm lying here dead on the floor

This is riff is played again later on, you'll see.
I took a blind leap of faith, it's not crashing and burning
With my heart fast asleep in your bed
I got on the ground safe but with my insides turning
And a picture of you in my head
As I wandered away deep in shock and dismay
In a daze, just repeating your name
Well the fact of the matter is both our hearts shatter way too goddamn easily
When you asked me if I'd stay forever
Guess you meant just for the week
We felt so good together
It was way too good to be
When I left you there early that morning my darling
I told you that I'd miss you so
I got on that plane with my heart soaring B5
But now it's falling like snow
Play interlude riff again.
Like two ships in the night we're colliding and sinking
Into the black sea of our love
We navigated past the port of logical thinking
Lost sight of the stars up above
Now my heart is a mess
Murder scene in my chest
Not a clue how you got through the door
But I'm glad that you came
No regret and no shame
As I'm lying here dead on the floor
When you asked me if I'd stay forever
Guess you meant just for the week
We felt so good together
It was way too good to be
When I left you there early that morning my darling
I told you that I'd miss you so
I got on that plane with my heart soaring B5
But now it's falling like snow A5
Now it's falling like snow A5
Now it's falling like snow A5
And now it's falling like snow
Play this riff between every 'now it's falling like snow' line, with the
actual line of the song starting on each B5, Matt doesn't actually sing
the line after the second one, but the music is the same.

enough, you should get it :).
