Intro: Em  G  C  D 

Em                        G 
We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain 
   D                   C 
We jumped never asking why 
   Em               G 
We kissed, I fell under your spell 
  D                   C 
A love no one could deny 

C                  Em 
Don't you ever say I just walked away 
G             C 
I will always want you 
C                   Em 
I can't live a lie, running for my life 
G             C 
I will always want you          

                 G          D 
I came in like a wrecking ball 
               Em         C 
I never hit so hard in love 
                    G              D 
All I wanted was to break your walls 
                Em         C 
All you ever did was wreck me 
Em             C 
Yeah, you, you wreck me 

Em                G 
I put you high up in the sky 
    D                      Am 
And now, you're not coming down 
   Em                 G 
It slowly turned, you let me burn 
    D                   Am 
And now, we're ashes on the ground 

C                  Em 
Don't you ever say I just walked away 
G             C 
I will always want you

I can't live a lie, running for my life 
G             C 
I will always want you

I never hit so hard in love 
                    G              D

I came in like a wrecking ball 
                      Em           C 
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung 
                      G          D 
Left me crashing in a blazing fall 
                Em          C 
All you ever did was wreck me 
      Em            Am

I just wanted you to let me in 
                     B 
And instead of using force 
                          C 
I guess I should've let you win 
                        Em 
I never meant to start a war 
                     G
