Intro: Em 


 Em 
 Enemy, used to be 

 Part of you, bittersweet 
     Am 
 But now you tell me lies 
 C 
 Up and down, cold and hot 
 G 
 Swear to God, got to stop  
         D 
 Because I can't sleep at night 

Am 
 If you wanted love like this 
C 
 Blowing up with every kiss 
Em                     D 
 Should've known better 

Am 
 Because you find yourself alone 
C 
 Chilling you right to the bone 
Em                         D 
 No, should've known better 


                C 
 You and me just running towards the light 
G                   D                 Em 
 Giving up the fight, hoping we survive 
                C 
 You and me just strangers in the night 
G                   D                  Em 
 Giving up the fight, waiting to ignite 

                C 
 Holding on for life 
                G 
 Holding on for life 
                D 
 Holding on for life 
 Em 
 Holding on for life 

                C 
 Holding on for life 
                G 
 Holding on for life 
                D 
 Holding on for life 
 Em 
 Holding on for life 


 Em 
 Lost in you, lost in me 

 Afraid of love, in too deep 
    Am 
 So we just run and hide 
 C 
 Lightning fast, felt the crash 
  G 
 Scared to lose, fear attacks 
    D 
 We only know goodbye 

                C 
 You and me just running towards the light 
G                   D                 Em 
 Giving up the fight, hoping we survive 
                C 
 You and me just strangers in the night 
G                   D                  Em 
 Giving up the fight, waiting to ignite 

                C 
 Holding on for life 
                G 
 Holding on for life 
                D 
 Holding on for life 
 Em 
 Holding on for life 

                C 
 Holding on for life 
                G 
 Holding on for life 
                D 
 Holding on for life 
 Em 
 Holding on for life 


Am 
 If you wanted love like this 
C 
 Blowing up with every kiss 
G                      D 
 Should've known better 

Am 
 Because you find yourself alone 
C 
 Chilling you right to the bone 
G                          D

Am         C          G 
 Hopelessly holding on 
    D 
 To all those perfect nights 
Am            C             Em 
 Let's pretend it's not gone 
     G 
 And say we'll never die 


                C 
 You and me just running towards the light 
G                   D                 Em
