Intro: G  C  G  C  

     G           C        G      C             Am             G  (C  G  C)        
 I'm starting to feel we stay together out of fear of dying alone  
           G                    C          G                C  
 I've been slipping through the years, my old clothes don't fit like  
           Am                     C                         G    (C  G  C)  
 they once did, so they hang like ghosts of the people I've been.   
                  G              C      G       C           Am   
 but it's like my heart can't contain i fall in love every day  
                   G    (C  G  C)  
 and i feel like a fool.  
   G                 C          G                 C                    Am  
 I have to face the truth, that no one could ever look at me like you do  
                    C                G  (C  G  C)  
 like I'm something worth holding on to.  
         D                 Am                Em                   C  
 There's times I think of leaving, but it's something I'll never do.  
        G          D          E       Am          C          G  
 Cause you can do better than me, but I can't do better than you.  
 G           D          E       Am         C           G  
 You can do better than me, but I can't do better than you.
