--  x6
 Verse 1 Chords:
 When everything  we felt failed
 And some music  soft in distant sails
 But it don't  sound like it did before
 Then I know  I'm left with nothing more  than my own  soul
 Use verse 1 Chords
 When pretty pictures face back
 But your coats aren't hanging on the rack
 And blue water turns to
 A place that I can't get to, a place that I can't
 In a room  all I feel,  is the cold  that you left
 Through the  air all I see,  is your face  full of blame
What's  left  to see,  what's  there  to see
(played slowly so listen to CD to follow along)

 Use Verse 3 chords
 In the room all I feel
 Is the cold that you left
 through the air all I see
 is your face full of blame
 what's left to see
 what's there to see
 what's left to see
