Capo on 3)     

Em                      G 
We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain 
     D                  C 
We jumped never asking why 
    Em              G 
We kissed, I fell under your spell 
   D                  C 
A love no one could deny 

C                  Em 
Don't you ever say I just walked away 
G                  C 
I will always want you 
C                   Em 
I can't live a lie, running for my life 
G                  C 
I will always want you 

                 G           D

I never hit so hard in love 
                    G             D            
All I wanted was to break your walls

All you ever did was wreck me 
               Em    C

  Em                      G 
I put you high up in the sky

And now, you're not coming down 
   Em                        G 
It slowly turned, you let me burn 
    D                       C 
And now, we're ashes on the ground
