Intro: Am
Am
Lost among the hours,
Am
I barely make it through,
G
It's been far too damn long,
Fm
Since these eyes have seen you,
Am
The further that we fall,
Am
Into this unknown,
G
The weaker we become knowing
Fm
We are not alone,
Dsus2
Who will save us.
Am
When all I want is you
Cadd9
And all you want is me,
G
Forsake the odds against us
Fm
And everything between,
Am
When distance separates
Cadd9
Me from your heart beat,
G
I'd tear the whole damn world apart
Fm
To bring you closer to me.
Am
So hollow and helpless,
You can barely breathe
G
And knowing I can't save you
Fm
Is slowly killing me,
Am
I spend the day in a coma,
The nights chemically,
G
Just waiting for the next embrace
Fm Dsus2
Worth all of this suffering.
Am
When all I want is you
Cadd9
And all you want is me,
G
Forsake the odds against us
Fm
And everything between,
Am
When distance separates
Cadd9
Me from your heart beat,
G
I'd tear the whole damn world apart
Fm
To bring you closer to me.
Am
We wage war with ourselves,
G
We both cut and bleed,
Fm
Always fighting to remember,
Who's the real enemy,
Am G
And we're just victims
Fm
Of this tragic distance
Between us.
Am
When all I want is you
Cadd9
And all you want is me,
G
Forsake the odds against us
Fm
And everything between,
Am
When distance separates
Cadd9
Me from your heart beat,
G
I'd tear the whole damn world apart
Fm Am Cadd9
To bring you closer to me.
G Fm9
Closer to me.
