Verse [2x Ab Riff ] When I came to laugh for some hope
With nothing but the stump of it left
I armed myself against such bones
An emptiness that wasn't alone

Chorus 5x [Ab - Db9 / B] It seemed so strong, though I was young
That was not past, with the pain
There was no change creating strain
That Was Safe
That was Safe

Verse [2x Ab Riff] It's all so simple magnified it appears
As morning dreams still disappear
I feel the swirl, I feel that weight
Of abstract ideas that ache

Chorus 5x [Ab - Db9 / B ] It seemed so strong, though i was young
That was not past, with the pain
There was no change creating strain
That Was Safe
That was Safe

BRIDGE 2x [ Db - Bb / B - B / Ab - B / Bb - Bb ]
2x [ Db - Bb / B - Ab / B - Bb / Bb (half measure)]
As good a time as any it shows, Departure from scripted souls
In the wake its all-overhead high, maybe I don't want to be
If we had left those alone, it’s shown how history
Those mistakes are over its time, that’s politely rewinding

Verse 4x [Ab Riff]I can't explain it any other way
While often sleeping in till it's late
Thought it was fine, i had no right
To try and take everyone's side
Despite
It was a house in fallen decay
The water wasn't cleansing the name
Then a cloud alerted of rain, as though
Heavens were all that remained

Chorus 8x [Ab - Db9 / B ] It seemed so strong, though I was young
It would not last, as with the rain
Then there was change among the blame
And I had spoke of one for not too long
I let the name go, it’s not the soul
I have a mind to recognize,
That Was Safe
That was Safe
