A 
Clinging to me 
Like a last breath you would breathe 
B 
You were like home to me 
D 
I don't recognize the street 

A 
Please don't close your eyes 
Don't know where to look without them 
B 
Outside the cars speed by 
D 
I never heard them until now 

A 
I know you care 
B 
I know it is always been there 
D 
But there's trouble ahead, I can feel it 
You are just saving yourself when you hide it 

A 
Yeah, I know you care 
B 
I see it in the way you stare 
D 
As if there was trouble ahead and you knew it 
I'll be saving myself from the ruin 
And I know you care 

A 
I used to run down the stairs 
To the door and I thought you were there 
B 
Do you shape through the comfort of us 
D 
Two lovers loved out of love 

A 
Oh, but I know you care 
B 
I know it is always been there 
D 
But there's trouble ahead, I can feel it 
You are just saving yourself when you hide it 

A 
Yeah, I know you care 
B 
I see it in the way you stare 
D 
As if there was trouble ahead and you knew it 
I'll be saving myself from the ruin 

B 
And know it wasn't always wrong 
But I've never known a winter so cold 
D 
Now I don't warm my hands in your coat 
But I still hope 

B 
'Cause this is how things ought to have been 
And I know the worst of it wasn't all that it seemed 
D 
Why can't I dream 
Why can't I dream 

A 
'Cause I know you care 
B 
And I know you care 
D 
I know you care 
A                 B   D 
I know you care 
A 
I know it's always been there
