Intro: G D A (2x)
G D A
These tired eyes have been crying all along;
G D
They think that love is a bitter song
A
And they think that we don’t belong
G D
In this world of what we created,
A
Of all we hold so safe and true
G D
I was the one who abandoned you
A
And you think that’s all I can do
G A
Your line’s been drawn
G A Bm
I’ll take this shot and aim it true,
Pick up the phone and call for you,
G A Bm
I’ll never get the nerve to say,
“are you with him, or are you with me?”
G D
I hope you find yourself,
A
I hope you turn it all around,
G D
I hope you’re holding on to me
A
Like it’s the last breath you’ll ever breathe
G D A
G Bm
It’s hard to think of the nights we shared,
A
Breathing for two and gasping for air,
G
Choking on words I couldn’t bear
Bm
And she walked away,
A
All I did was stare
G Bm
Because I don’t think she gets how,
A
Just how much I need her touch
G
I would bleed for half as much
Bm
But I’ll never tell,
A
No, I never will
G A
Our lines are crossed
G A Bm
I’ll take this shot and aim it true,
Pick up the phone and call for you,
G A Bm
I’ll never get the nerve to say,
“are you with him, or are you with me?”
G D
I hope you find yourself,
A
I hope you turn it all around,
G D
I hope you’re holding on to me
A
Like it’s the last breath you’ll ever breathe
Bm
I guess it’s our little secret,
G
And you’re just praying I keep it
D
But how long will you leave these pages unturned;
A Em
You keep playing with fire, baby one day you’ll get burned
Can you promise me one thing?
G
Let’s make this count for something
D
You were holding me up, then dropped me to the floor
A
First you show me your heart, then you show me the door
G A Bm
I’ll take this shot and aim it true,
Pick up the phone and call for you,
G A Bm
I’ll never get the nerve to say,
“are you with him, or are you with me?”
G D
I hope you find yourself,
A
I hope you turn it all around,
G D
I hope you’re holding on to me
A G D A
Like it’s the last breath you’ll ever breathe
G D A
Like it’s the last breath you’ll ever breathe
Make this the last breath you’ll ever
