The Toll It Takes - As I Lay Dying | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
Ab5 | C5  | Ab5 | C5  
Bb5 | Ab5 | C5  | Ab5 
C5  | Bb5 

[Bridge (1)]
---------------------
C5

[Verse 1]
---------------------
There's a sentence
They gave me
Then one that remains
Unchanging

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Like skin that's burnt by frost
It'll peel if I pull away
It hurts to hold or let go
As I'm trying to sustain

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Like feeling
Hunger pangs
And eating bone to stay alive
It tears me apart inside
But it seems like
The better way to get by

[Bridge (2)]
---------------------
C5       Bb5
  Like a broken
                   Ab5
Hourglass they fell
        Bb5
Cutting sand through
My fingers down the deepest well

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Ab5                   Eb5
   I know the toll it takes
C5                   Eb5
  But I won't let you   go
Ab5                    Eb5
   The past I can't replace
   C5              Bb5
Is all that you'll ever know
Ab5                    Eb5
   There is no turning back
C5                   Eb5
  I can't fix what I broke
Ab5                   Eb5
   The past I can't replace
   Bb5                       C5
Is all that you'll ever know!

[Verse 4]
---------------------
You're a part of me that
I may never be able to repair
Like a lung that's collapsed
I'll always know that you're still there

[Break (1)]
---------------------
Always surrounding my heart
Even if it rejects air

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Ab5                   Eb5
   I know the toll it takes
C5                   Eb5
  But I won't let you   go
Ab5                   Eb5
   The past I can't replace
   C5              Bb5
Is all that you'll ever know
Ab5                    Eb5
   There is no turning back
C5                   Eb5
  I can't fix what I broke
Ab5                   Eb5
   The past I can't replace
   Bb5                       C5
Is all that you'll ever know!

[Interlude]
---------------------
The true sentence I still face
Is one I brought upon myself

[Break (2)]
---------------------
Lost in a dark cell
They said it's easiest
                              C5
To just numb yourself and let go

[Bridge (3)]
---------------------
But these open wounds
     Bb5
Will forever feel fresh
Ab5                        Bb5
   And I refuse to let them   close yet



[Outro]
---------------------
I know the toll it takes
But I won't let you go
