verse 1 

G 
You're setting off, it's time to go, the engine's running 
C 
My mind's lost, we always knew this day was coming 
Em                                                    C 
And now it's more fright'ning than it's ever gonna be 

G 
You're miles away, I watch you on a red horizon 
C 
Your line's heart, I would touch you on a storm sky 
Em                                                           C 
 And I will always be listening for your laughter and your tears 
        Gm            D 
And as soon as I can hold you once again 
                   G       C 
I won't let go of you, I swear 

 
    G 
We live through scars this time 
     C 
But I've made up my mind 
    D              C 
We can't leave us behind 
  G    D 
Anymore 

verse 2 

G 
Your hands are cold, your lips are turning blue, you're shaking 
C 
This fragile heart, so heavy in my chest, is breaking 
Em                                                    C 
And in the dark, you try to make a pay phone call to me 

          G 
But you're miles away, your ship breaking up 
You're on your own 
C 
It's hard to take, I need an hour just to say hello 
Em                                                      C 
And I can't make the truth of this work out for you or me 

                  D                                                     C 
And for all the pennies in your pocket, we barely get a second just to speak 


    G 
We live through scars this time 
     C 
But I've made up my mind 
    D              C 
We can't leave us behind 
  G    D 
Anymore 
G 
 We'll have to hurt for now 
     C 
But next time, there's no doubt 
     D 
Cuz I can't go without you 
  G    D 
Anymore 

Oh no no 
Oh oh? 
*Instrumental* 
Yeah yeah 
*Instrumental* 


    G 
We live through scars this time 
     C 
But I've made up my mind 
    D              C 
We can't leave us behind 
  G    D 
Anymore 
G 
 We'll have to hurt for now 
     C 
But next time, there's no doubt 
     D             G    C 
Cuz I can't go without you 
        G G G? 
Anymore?
