What use is money, when you need someone to hold

You’ll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,

Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me

Leave your lover, leave him for me 

E                               B              A 
We sit in bars and raise our drinks to growing old 
A       A/G#                F#m         E 
I’m in love with you and you will never know 
E                              B             A 
But if I can’t have you I’ll walk this life alone 
A            A/G#              F#m            E 
Spare you the rising storms and let the river flow 

        F#m                                 G#m 
You’ll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,

Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

Pack up and leave everything, don’t you see what I can bring

Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me
