Intro: / Bm - - / Bsus2 - - / - - / Gmaj7 - - / G6 - - / - - /

 

VERSE:

               D               Em              G (x2)

And I'd give up forever to touch you

                  Bm                      A                  G (x2)

'Cause I know that you feel me somehow

                      D                 Em                  G (x2)

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

          Bm                       A                            G (x2)

And I don't want to go home right now

 

VERSE:

       D           Em                         G (x2)

And all I can taste is this moment

      Bm                   A           G (x2)

And all I can breathe is your life

        D       Em            G (x2)

And sooner or later it's over

         Bm                      A                     G (x2)

I just don't want to miss you tonight

 

CHORUS:

         Bm                          A       G (x2)

And I don't want the world to see me

                 Bm                  A                   G (x2)

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

           Bm                        A                    G (x2)

When everything's made to be broken

         Bm                       A                    G (x2)

I just want you to know who I am

 

Repeat Intro

 

VERSE:

                  D                         Em                          G (x2)

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

            Bm                    A                    G (x2)

Or the moment of truth in your lies

           D                    Em                     G (x2)

When everything feels like the movies

                     Bm                         A                  G (x2)

Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
