Lyrics/Chords:
 
[TAB]
The fall that breaks your bed,
turns showers of sunlight to hours of hindsight instead.
You sigh, you shake your head,
it did what they asked us, but time drifted past I'm afraid.
    Am                                                  D
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.
 
Em  Em  Cadd9  Em  x2
 
Em                          Em
If we can make it through tonight girl,
     Cadd9               Em
I know I won't be alone again.
Em                             Em
If we can make it through this night girl,
     Cadd9              Em
I know I won't be alone again.
     Am                                                 D
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.
 
Em  Em  Cadd9  Em
 
Em                      Em
If I don't let you go tonight girl,
     Cadd9               Em
I know I won't be alone again.
Em                           Em
My lips are dry your grip is tight girl,
         Cadd9                     Em
but I know I won't sing this song again.
     Am                                                 D
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.
 
Em  Em  Cadd9  Em
 
Em                                Em
I know these wrongs don't make it right girl,
         Cadd9                  Em
but I know I will look on and admire.
Em                         Em
So I will watch you here tonight girl,
             Cadd9                       Em
brighter and more like the embers of our fire.
     Am                                                 D
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.
   Am                               D
So lately I've been working on this song of mine.
 
[TAB]
You sigh, you shake your hair,
turns showers of sunlight to hours of hindsight instead.
The fall that breaks your bed,
it did what they asked us, but time drifted past I'm afraid.
     Am                                                 D
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied
 
 
NOTE: I'm fairly certain this is how Rheon plays it; however, I like to slip a C chord in
between the first two Ems of each bar as I feel it plays better. So:
 
Em         C                 Em
"If we can make it through tonight girl,
     Cadd9               Em
I know I won't be alone again." etc.
