Intro: Em C G D
verse 1
How could you lie there? watching me die here?
watching me give up on everything we were
how could you watch when I was so broken?
watching everything we built up fade away
I'm at the end of fighting just to breath
then I remember you said you'd never leave
Em C G D Em
You keep me alive, alive, when everything collides and falls apart
C G D
You are the one that's holding me
Em C G D C
I'm alive, so alive, you make all the pain inside fade away
D
You are the one that keeps me alive
verse 2
How could you live with all of my weakness, all of the times I ran pushing you away?
All I do is hurt you, I never deserved you, never aware of everything I put you through
C D Em C D
Then I remember you said you'd never leave, do you remember you said you'd never leave?
Em C G D Em
You keep me alive, alive, when everything collides and falls apart
C G D
You are the one that's holding me
Em C G D C
I'm alive, so alive, you make all the pain inside fade away
D
You are the one that keeps me alive
Bridge
Em D
I'm caught in you, there's no escape
C D
I'll breathe you in or I suffocate
Em D C D
Surrendering is the only way and if I die tonight...
