verse 1 
C             G                 Am 
 Have you ever wished you could rewind 
    F               C           G              G 
 And pick up all the pieces of a life you left behind 
C              G                 Am 
 Have you ever lived on borrowed time? 
     F               C                    G         G 
 And knowing your mistakes are chasing you down from behind 

     F          C            G           Am 
 But don’t hold me, coz I am falling back down 
       F                C               G       G 
 And I wouldn’t want to see you hit the ground 
     F             C              G                     Am 
 And little darling, you found my heart in the lost and found 
         F          C         G       G 
 But the scars they follow me around 

verse 2 
C            G       Am 
 I know it’s hard to replace 
         F                 C               G          G 
 But the feelings that you had for me will one day be erased 
C             G             Am 
 And you will learn to move on 
      F             C 
 Like footprints in snow were lost 
G                 G 
 When the wind is gone 

     F          C            G           Am 
 But don’t hold me, coz I am falling back down 
       F                C               G       G 
 And I wouldn’t want to see you hit the ground 
     F             C              G                     Am 
 And little darling, you found my heart in the lost and found 
         F          C         G       G 
 But the scars they follow me around 

Bridge 
                                             Am 
 And the dark surrounds your heart and you're in free fall 
        F              C      G 
 Oh you must let go of me 

 Cause if you keep me 
         Am 
 You will lose it all 
    F 
 So darling, darling, 
E 
 Please...please 
 
     F          C            G           Am 
 But don’t hold me, coz I am falling back down 
       F                C               G       G 
 And I wouldn’t want to see you hit the ground 
     F             C              G                     Am 
 And little darling, you found my heart in the lost and found 
         F          C         G       G 
 But the scars they follow me around 

 They follow me around
