Buy Me Time

G D Caught inside, hollow feeling A G Faded light, and I’m scared to open my eyes, G D One foot first, with a sigh A G Into the sun to cast my shadow behind G D Oh and it seems - so far away, A G My flighty heart should not dismay G D Beyond this wall there is a hill A G Blushing in the evening still G D Buy me time, and let me go A G Gotta push away or watch this fire burn out G D There’s always something, there’s always more A G Gotta push away or watch this fire burn out G D I’m not the villain, that's not my aim A G Sometimes the world seems twisted, through these eyes that blur with shame G D I’m not a thief, it’s not my play A G Oh just ground the rock, break the wall and shift the clay G D Buy me time, and let me go A G Gotta push away or watch this fire burn out G D There’s always something, there’s always more A G Gotta push away or watch this fire burn out G D In earnest I, try tame the beast A G Shadows can’t be cast without a glow at very least G D Stand armed and prepped to stoke the flames A G But I’ll need a while to navigate my way through this here maze G D So buy me time, a simple plea A G An attitude that’s built and shaped by pure necessity G D I struggle through and I dare to dream A G Although nostalgia really isn’t what it used to be G D Buy me time, and let me go A G Gotta push away or watch this fire burn out G D There’s always something, there’s always more A G Gotta push away or watch this fire burn out
