The Past Should Stay Dead

Tailored sheets, to fit this dirty bed
For once this dirt won't come all off
I can't be pushed aside

Wind is blowing through closed doors
With shadows, dancing in the
(the second guitar part, the background of the lead is)

(lead part)

Hall
Now hit the floor
Crawl to the side
We've all made

Better moves
Despite the slowing of our feet
(the background for this whole next part is)
(hold each note for 8 beats or 2 measures)

(lead part)

For once, lets leave the dreaming to

someone else

Our time has slipped away

We're sinking faster, faster, no more play

Get ready for the catch, I'm at the

next step, waiting for our year

And all at once
It leaves you breathless
With next to nothing
But open

hands
(there are two guitars for this next part)
(part I - kind of in the background, just repeats)

(part II)

Reach out, hold on tight

I know it hurts but keep trying

And with your luck, this won't be over quick

Out of the blue it strikes

You
What's left to catch, but the fear of

Letting go

(The fear of letting go)
(there is a little fill right here)

(then into the softer part)

And bite down, the stress gets harder now

The mood is let down
Let it play for the last time,
Take this last second to know

For once don't be so weak
Back up the feelings that you claim now
Fall deeper into a world
That you can't explain

For once

Don't be so weak

I've seen your mistake and it's you

Don't try

I never lied

I know the truth

Let hate save you
When nothing else will
Oh let it save you
When nothing else will

Let it save you

The mood is let down
Let it play for the last time,
Take this last second to know

(for the last minute of the song, the lead part is this, repeated until the end)

(while the background part is something like this)
