[Intro]
F

[Verse]
  F                                          C
Today, I climbed the highest mountain I have ever climbed
      F                             C
And I turned to look at ruins I had left behind
    F                      C                         F
And you, where were you so far, removed from any truth
  Am               Bb
I lost you, didn't I?
                           F
But first I think I lost myself

    F                                  C
Children, then and forever locked in a memory
   F                                           C
Holding that mirror searching for some kind of certainty
     F                         C                         F
That you were just the same as everyone but you were wrong
       Am                Bb
And it hurt you, didn't it?
                 F
All you couldn't be


[Chorus]
  F
Ruins
  Bb
ooh
  F
Ruins
  Bb
Ooh


[Verse]
  F                               C
I tried to hold onto some kind of dignity
    F                                C
Too long, I waded through a vast and endless sea
    F                     C                 F
Thinking I could find the secret there within
      Am              Bb
But I gave up, didn't I?
                F
Seemed the only way

  F                                         C
Ruins, all the things we built assured that they would last
    F                             C                           F
Standing amongst ticket stubs and written notes and photographs
                 C                        F
Where are you in here somewhere I cannot go
     Am       Bb
I am sorry, I am
                   F
But I don't take it back


[Bridge]
    Bb             F                   Bb                   F
And in the night I hear your voice sometimes but it quickly passes
   Bb                F                   Bb              C
In dreams I saw what I had thought could be some kind of answer
    Bb
You try and try and try until you cannot try no more
F
Captured in our own

[Chorus]
