[Intro – stripped, spacious, almost empty] Em Same house, same silence F Nothing’s really changed C I’m already moving G Before you know the day ⸻ [Verse 1 – low, conversational, almost spoken] Em Laundry piled like a warning F Green light blinking on C I said it last night plain as morning G But you just carried on Em Coffee sitting on the counter F Cold before I get a sip C You wake up slow and comfortable G While I’m already in it ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 1 – slight lift, still restrained] Am I’m not asking for perfection Em I’m not asking for a show F Just meet me in the middle G So I don’t carry it alone ⸻ [Chorus – widen slightly, do not belt] C I’m carrying survival G You’re just passing time Em Same roof above us F But it’s not the same life C I hold it all steady G While you let it slide Em We’re living in the same house F But we’re unmatched inside ⸻ [Verse 2 – slightly sharper tone, subtle edge] Em Puzzle pieces on the hardwood F Right where I left your name C You stepped around the problem G Like it wasn’t your thing Em You say “yeah” when I’m breaking F Like you hear me, like it lands C But the proof is in the morning G And it’s missing from your hands ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2 – more pointed, controlled tension] Am It’s not the dishes or the laundry Em It’s not what’s on the floor F It’s knowing I can’t lean on you G Like I thought I could before ⸻ [Chorus – same intensity, grounded] C I’m carrying survival G You’re just passing time Em Same roof above us F But it’s not the same life C I hold it all steady G While you let it slide Em We’re living in the same house F But we’re unmatched inside ⸻ [Verse 3 – heavier meaning, still restrained] Em You got hours I don’t get to F You got space I never see C While I’m working just to keep us G From losing everything Em You get lost inside your music F While I’m holding up the walls C I don’t even get to stop G I just catch it when it falls ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 3 – emotional tightening, quiet intensity] Am I don’t need you perfect Em I don’t need you strong F I just needed you beside me G Somewhere I belong ⸻ [Chorus – slight grit, no added volume] C I’m carrying survival G You’re just passing time Em Same roof above us F But it’s not the same life C I hold it all steady G While you let it slide Em We’re living in the same house F But we’re unmatched inside ⸻ [Verse 4 – quiet, detached clarity] Em I don’t even raise my voice now F I don’t say it like before C I just move around the silence G And don’t ask you anymore Em It’s not anger, it’s just distance F Settling in slow C Like a truth I didn’t want G But I’m starting now to know ⸻ [Bridge – stripped, almost spoken, intimate] F Love ain’t supposed to feel like this Em Counting what you miss C Holding up a life for two G While you coexist F I can’t keep pretending Em This is something it’s not C ’Cause love don’t feel like carrying G Everything you forgot ⸻ [Final Chorus – add weight, not volume] C I’m carrying survival G You’re just passing time Em Same roof above us F But it’s not the same life C I hold it all steady G While you let it slide Em We’re living in the same house F But we’re unmatched inside ⸻ [Outro – soft, fading, unresolved] Em Unmatched… F Unmatched… C Same house… G Different lives…
