[Intro]
    x2

[Verse 1]
         
A million mile

       
s to a cemeter

y
            
A flower acros

        
s your chest
         
A tear on a sm

          
ile as you pra

y to a sky
            
But it won't b

              
ring back your

 
 breath
           
You know it is

            
n't the love t

       
hat you wish f

or
             
That you were 

             
misinformed as

    
 a child
           
'Cause everyth

            
ing in those b

          
eautiful stori

es
            
Was only a par

         
t of the lie
              
That told you 

         
every tongue t

              
hat you kissed


 was a royal
            
And you know t

              
hat your godmo

      
ther flies
           
And it all see

   
ms so importan

t
            
'Til you're dr

              
ifting off at 


night

[Chorus]
         
And the weight

              
 of your eyes 

    
and your face 

when you cry
            
Make the days 

              
you were young

    
 seem ages ago
         
If you could s

              
tay, would you

    
 go?
            
If you could s

              
tay, would you

    
 go?

[Interlude]
    x2

[Post-Chorus]
   
Four-by-four
              
You build your

          
 own life stor

y
           
Build your own

      
 life story
            
Build your own

[Verse 2]
         
A million mile

        
s and a year w

ent by
            
And you still 

              
can't find you


r breath
         
Your tears wen

            
t dry as you p

ray to a god
            
But he won't b

              
ring back the 


dead
          
And it was nev

             
er a love that

   
 you wished fo

r
            
Even when you 

           
were just a ch

ild
          
'Cause you kne

             
w everything i

   
n the stories
            
Were only a pa

       
rt of a lie

[Chorus]
         
And the weight

              
 of your eyes 

    
and your face 

when you cry
            
Make the days 

              
you were young

    
 seem ages ago
         
If you could s

              
tay, would you

    
 go?
            
If you could s

              
tay, would you

    
 go?

Build your own

      
 life story
            
Build your own

      

   
Four-by-four
              
You build your

y
           
Build your own

      
 life story
            
Build your own
