Intro: D#m | F# | D#m | F#

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

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

 D#m  C#   F#   B
   If I risk it all,
 D#m     C#   F#      Bb7
   Could you break my fall?

Chorus:
     Bb7      D#m            C#
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     B                C#
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    D#m                  C#
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 B                        Bbm7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         G#m7                  Bbm7 Bb7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                 D#m
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.

Instrumental: D#m | F#

D#m                  F#
A million shards of glass
D#m                   F#
That haunt me from my past.
       B
As the stars begin to gather,
        Bb              Bb7
And the light begins to fade,
         B
When all hope begins to shatter,
          Bb
Know that I won’t be afraid.

 D#m  C#   F#   B
   If I risk it all,
 D#m     C#   F#      Bb7
   Could you break my fall?

Chorus:
     Bb7      D#m            C#
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     B                C#
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    D#m                  C#
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 B                        Bbm7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         G#m7                  Bbm7 Bb7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                 D#m    F#
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.
                     D#m        F#
     The writing’s on the wall.

Instrumental: B | Bb Bb7 | B | Bb Bb7

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

     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     B                C#
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    D#m                  C#
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 B                        Bbm7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         G#m7                  Bbm7 Bb7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                  D#m
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.
