F            C              G                F
I color the walls so I can watch the paint dry
           C               G             F
Time is a missile, I just let the clock die
                 C                G          F
The waitin' is breakin' and it's takin' its toll
                C         G           Dm  C
A kiss on the lip and a crack on the soul

                        Dm G
If we keep pushin' our luck
It's gonna catch up

Chorus:
F                     C
It's sweet, but it's bitter,
you're gone for the winter
                 F
It's a worry of mine
F               C
Like lemons in water, it's a hit of the sour
             F
Just staled wine
   Dm                         G
I don't wanna act like these butterflies
 Am                          G
Aren't my worries comin' to life
F               C
Like lemons in water, it's a hit of the sour
                  F
And not the good kind

Hours away from bein' miles apart
You're takin' a plane and you're takin' my heart
It's such a shame that nowhere feels like home
What's there to gain if we're sleepin' alone?

If we keep pushin' our luck
It's gonna catch up

Chorus

Am              G                            C
I'm pickin' my battles and you're pickin' me up,
          F
piece by piece
Am               G                        C
I'm missin' the point 'cause I'm bottlin' up
               F
all these memories
   Dm                    G
I keep on thinkin' that you'll be home 'cause
   Am                            G
I know that's where you want to be
F               C
Like lemons in water, it's a hit of the sour,
                  F
but not the good kind
F                     C
There's blood in the water,
                     F
I don't wanna drift farther, so I'll see you tonight

Chorus:
It's sweet, but it's bitter,
you're gone for the winter
It's a worry of mine
Like oil and water, it's the heat of the summer
It doesn't sit right
I don't wanna act like these butterflies
Aren't my worries comin' to life
Like lemons in water, it's a hit of the sour
But not the good kind
