Intro: Gmadd9 | Bbmaj | Gmadd9 | Bbmaj

Gmadd9           Bbmaj
I’ve been here before,
Gmadd9              Bbmaj
But always hit the floor.
     D#maj
I’ve spent a lifetime running
      Dsus4
And I always get away,
         D#maj
But with you I’m feeling something
     Dsus4            D
That makes me want to stay.

Gmadd9           Bbmaj
I’m prepared for this,
Gmadd9           Bbmaj
I never shoot to miss.
      D#maj
But I feel like a storm is coming
       Dsus4
If I’m gonna make it through the day.
            D#maj
And there’s no more use in running,
        Dsus4             D
This is something I gotta face.

 Gm   F/A  Bb   D#maj
   If I risk it all,
 Gm      F/A  Bb      D7    D9-
   Could you break my fall?

Chorus:
     D7       Gm             F6add9
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     D#maj            F6add9
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    Gm                   F6add9
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 D#maj                    Dm7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         Cm7                   Dm7 D7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                 Gmadd9
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.

Instrumental: Gmadd9 | Bbmaj

Gmadd9               Bbmaj
A million shards of glass
Gmadd9                Bbmaj
That haunt me from my past.
       D#maj
As the stars begin to gather,
        Dsus4           D9-sus4 D7sus4
And the light begins to fade,
         D#maj
When all hope begins to shatter,
          Dsus4        D
Know that I won’t be afraid.

 Gm   F/A  Bb   D#maj
   If I risk it all,
 Gm      F/A  Bb      D7    D9-
   Could you break my fall?

Chorus:
     D7       Gm             F6add9
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     D#maj            F6add9
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    Gm                   F6add9
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 D#maj                    Dm7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         Cm7                   Dm7 D7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                 Gmadd9 Bbmaj
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.
                     Gmadd9     Bbmaj
     The writing’s on the wall.

Instrumental: D# | Dsus4 D7 | D# | Dsus4 D7

              Gm             F6add9
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     D#maj            F6add9
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    Gm                   F6add9
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 D#maj                    F6add9
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?

              Gm             F6add9
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     D#maj            F6add9
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    Gm                   F6add9
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 D#maj                    Dm7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         Cm7                   Dm7 D7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                  Gm
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.
