             F
All of the black and white
            Dm
All of the contours
                C
Are laid out before me, now
           A#
To leave a trace

With all of the light and shade
We take up our own space
I'll find my own way back
Back to the past tense

Chorus:
   Gm                    C
A lifeline to highs and lows
                F
To seeing the bright side
              Dm
And I should know
   Gm                  C
We wait for the afterglow
              F
To cover the blind side
              Dm
And I should know

All of the empty thoughts
All of the outlines
Are laid out before us now
To leave a trace

All of your words and mine
They keep returning
I'll find my own way back
Back to the silence

Chorus

I've given up all I can
I've given up all I can
I've given up all I can
I've given up all I can
