Intro: C Am
F2 Am F2 Am
The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
F2 Am Gsus G
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
F2 Am F2 Am
I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts
F2 Am Gsus G
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out
[Refrão] C Gsus G
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
Am Gsus G
With a broken heart that's still beating
C Gsus G
In the pain there is healing
Am Gsus G
In your name I find meaning
F2 Am F2 Am F2 Am
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
Gsus G
I'm barely holdin' on to you
The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose, they're still looking for life
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain is there healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you
C Am F Am
I'm hanging on another day just to see what you will throw my way
C Am
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
F Gsus G
You said that I will be ok
The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home
Repete Refrão
