            "You cannot quit me so quickly"

            "No corner you could squeeze me"

[Verse 1]
 
G                 D/F#
   The space between
              Em            C                                      G
The tears we cry is the laughter that keeps us coming back for more
G                 D/F#
   The space between
             Em               C              D - D - D           C
The wicked lies we tell and hope to keep us safe from the pain
             D   D   D C
But will I hold you again?
 
                                     D - D - D
These fickle fuddled words confuse me
C                         D - D - D C
Like will it rain today?
                                        D - D - D C
We waste the hours with talking talking
                                 D - D - D G
These twisted games we're playing
 
G                    D/F#              Em
   We're strange allies with warring hearts
            C              G
What a wild eyed beast you be
G                 D/F#
   The space between
             Em               C              D - D - D           C
The wicked lies we tell and hope to keep us safe from the pain
             D   D   D C
But will I hold you again?
             D   D   D
But will I hold -
 
 
[Bridge]
 
A           G                  D/F#                F
Look at us spinning out in the madness of a roller coaster
A                  G                         D/F#
You know you went off like the devil in the church
                    F
In the middle of a crowded room
A           G
All we can do my love
    D/F#                     F    Eb
Is hope we don't take this ship down
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                 D/F#
   The space between
                     Em
Where you smile and hide
                      C                    G
That's where you'll find me if I get to go
G                D/F#
   The space between
                     Em
The bullets in our fire fight
             C                         G
Is where I'll be hiding waiting for you
G                 D/F#                   Em
   The rain that falls splashed in your heart
            C                                  G
Ran like sadness down the window into your room
G              D/F#          Em
The space between our wicked lies is
      C                        G
The hope to keep safe from pain
G             D/F#                 Em      C       G    D/F#
   Take my hand cause we're walkinnnnnnnng out of herrrrrre
               C
Right out of here is all we need dear
G                 D/F#
   The space between
                  Em
What's wrong and right
                   C
Is where you'll find me hiding
             G
Waiting for you

Dave never uses a capo...just saying. intro is E,D chorus is A, A/E, D/F#, at best considering it's written in a low baritone tuning.
