Dark Places Lyrics & Chords By The Gaslight Anthem

If I thought it would help, I would drive this car into the sea
If the fire and the smoke and explosions could speak for me
If the words that I used to try to explain
How something inside of me started to break
Ah, but one by one my words just got in the way

And how many nights did I crash against the waves
With my head going under?
How many days did I spend trying to see it your way?
If you try you'd remember
I changed a change and kept on saying
"One of these days something inside's gonna break
And we won't get it back now, baby" (something's gonna break)

If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
(If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart)
And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
(If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart)

All of the things that I tried to explain
How something inside of me started to break
We were living proof, one by one we drifted away
One by one we drifted away

And time after time there were things that would scare me to tears,
While you called me haunted
I paced around the bed where you laid
One of these days baby, something... (something's gonna break)

And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
(If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart)
And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
(If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart)

All of the things that I tried to explain
How something inside of me started to break
We were living proof, one by one we drifted away...
Drifted away...
One by one and day by day
I became the dark in the places where you live

And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
(If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart)
And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
(If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart)

All of the things that I tried to explain
How something inside of me started to break
We were living proof, one by one we drifted away
One by one we drifted away
We were living proof, one by one we drifted away
