Verse 4

D            Am           G
Remember the time we were both eye to eye
       Bm                    D
And we both knew the reasons why
               Em                     G
Seemed like we faced the world on our own

Verse 3

D         Am             G
Before we collide can we just take a moment
Bm                        D
Collecting reflections of this
    Em                         G
And remember the paths that we chose

Chorus

Bm
Spring lied to us this year again

Can't stand to face the fear again

You could always laugh about those things

Verse 5

Bm
It's enough to make a man feel sour
C
Burning minutes every day by the hour

Just to end up gone like everything else

Let go of the pain, hold onto the rhythm
     Bm                       D
It's consciously held back in you
                  Em                         G
You're drowning a sorrow that's long been at rest

The past is a hell, it can creep up inside you

So let me remind you of this

There's a reason your troubles exist

Chorus

Bm
Spring lied to us again this year

Still I can't stand to face the fear

Will you always laugh about those things

If ever a time comes around in the wheel
   Bm                             D
To replace where we stand side by side
         Em                G
We'll be ready and able to fly

Away from the mire
        G                      Bm                D
And the senseless decisions of somebody's wasted desire
            Em                         G
Through the smoke and the wind and the fire
