Intro: Em Em D A (x4) 

Verse 

Em 
Fighting an endless war 
     D                A 
That ends with my reflection 
Em  
Trying a hundred times  
   D                  A 
to turn the other way 
Em 
Keeping the balance right 
   D                A 
is for your own protection 
Em 
Finding the answers 
        D                    A 
just in time to hear you say 

Build 

Em           D                    A 
I, wanna believe the things you say 
Em              D              A 
I'm, letting it go and thats okay 

Hook 

              Em                        G 
Cause I had a dream last night you were talkin' to me 
            D                             A 
and told me all about the things that you loved 
    Em             G 
the conversation's killing me 
     D                    A  
so I left without lookin' back 

Verse 

Em 
How do I belong right here 
     D                A 
Locked down heart of fear 
Em 
Still you know you belong 
     D                A 
There's a word that I wish you would say 
Em 
I won't have it any other way 
        D                    A 
Tell me what you need me to say 

Build 

      Em              D                 A 
Cause I'm (longing to never fear the moment?) 
Em              D              A 
I'm letting it go and that's okay 

Hook 

Bridge 

Starts with some muted chords over  the second voice. 

there you look 
to the light, 
mystery, 
shining bright 

Em                    D 
Said it yourself that day 
                 A 
(something something blah blah) 
         Em                D 
You will never be what you say 

         A 
You will never say what you mean x2
