   :
  You  don't like it in the shadows
  but  you won't let me shine a light
  I  would wash away your troubles
  But it  seems
  The  more that I hold on
  The  more that you let go
  And I  know, you better let somebody love  you
   (  )
  or find yourself, on your own
   (  )
  Tell me why all the best laid plans
  fall apart  in your hands
   (  )
  And my good intentions never end,
   (  )
  the way I meant
  2nd Verse:
  If  we don't talk about the future
  Then should I just,  follow you into the dark
  Yeah,  and does your silence keep you  cold
   (  )
  While the cracks form on my heart
   (  )
  Tell me why all the best laid plans
  fall apart  in your hands
   (  )
  And my good intentions never end,
   (  )
  the way I meant
  It  seems to me some fine friends have watched you turn  your back
  It  seems you only want the things that you can't have.
 2x) :
   (  )
  Tell me why all the best laid plans
  fall apart  in your hands
   (  )
  And my good intentions never end,
   (  )
  the way I meant
  End on em.
