Intro: E B F# x2 


          E      B       F# 
All of the lights land on you 
                E      B         F# 
The rest of the world fades from view 
               E      B    D      F#      D       B      F# 
And all of the love I see please, please say you feel it too 
               E       B     F# 
And all of the noise I hear inside 
             E        B         F# 
Restless and loud, unspoken and wild 
                 E       B 
And all that you need to say 
           D       F# 
To make it all go away 
            D        B        F# 
Is that you feel the same way too 


      F#                                B 
And I know the scariest part is letting go 
                                Db 
Cause love is a ghost you can’t control 
                                      Abm 
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now 
            B         Db          F# 
So let the words slip out of your mouth 



               E           B          F# 
And all of the stairs that lead me to you 
               E      B           F# 
And all of the hell I had to walk through 
      E        B                   D         F# 
But I wouldn’t trade a day for the chance to say 
    D          B         F# 
My love I’m in love with you 


      F#                                B 
And I know the scariest part is letting go 
                                Db 
Cause love is a ghost you can’t control 
                                      Abm 
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now 
            B         Db          F# 
So let the words slip out of your mouth 




Ebm                D 
I know that we’re both afraid 
                 F# 
We both made the same mistakes 
        Abm                          Ebm 
An open heart is an open wound to you 
                     D 
And in the wind of a heavy choice 
           F# 
Love has a quiet voice 
          Abm                    B 
Still you mind, now I’m yours to choose 



      F#                                B 
And I know the scariest part is letting go 
                                         Db 
Let my love be the light that guides you home 


      F#                                B 
And I know the scariest part is letting go 
                                Db 
Cause love is a ghost you can’t control 
                                      Abm 
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now 
            B         Db          F# 
So let the words slip out of your mouth
