Intro: D#madd9 | F#maj | D#madd9 | F#maj

D#madd9          F#maj
I’ve been here before,
D#madd9             F#maj
But always hit the floor.
     Bmaj
I’ve spent a lifetime running
      Bbsus4
And I always get away,
         Bmaj
But with you I’m feeling something
     Bbsus4           Bb
That makes me want to stay.

D#madd9          F#maj
I’m prepared for this,
D#madd9          F#maj
I never shoot to miss.
      Bmaj
But I feel like a storm is coming
       Bbsus4
If I’m gonna make it through the day.
            Bmaj
And there’s no more use in running,
        Bbsus4            Bb
This is something I gotta face.

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

Chorus:
     Bb7      D#m            C#6    
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     Bmaj             C#6    
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    D#m                  C#6    
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 Bmaj                     Bbm7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         G#m7                  Bbm7 Bb7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                 D#madd9
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.

Instrumental: D#madd9 | F#maj

D#madd9              F#maj
A million shards of glass
D#madd9               F#maj
That haunt me from my past.
       Bmaj
As the stars begin to gather,
        Bbsus4          Bb7sus4       
And the light begins to fade,
         Bmaj
When all hope begins to shatter,
          Bbsus4       Bb
Know that I won’t be afraid.

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

Chorus:
     Bb7      D#m            C#6    
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     Bmaj             C#6    
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    D#m                  C#6    
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 Bmaj                     Bbm7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         G#m7                  Bbm7 Bb7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                 D#madd9 F#maj
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.
                     D#madd9    F#maj
     The writing’s on the wall.

Instrumental: B | Bbsus4 Bb7 | B | Bbsus4 Bb7

              D#m            C#6    
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     Bmaj             C#6    
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    D#m                  C#6    
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 Bmaj                     C#6    
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?

              D#m            C#6    
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     Bmaj             C#6    
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    D#m                  C#6    
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 Bmaj                     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.
