Intro: F# G# A#m C# D#m A#m G
 
A#m C# D#m
They'll tell you I don't care anymore
A#m G# Fm F#
And I hope you'll know that's a lie
G# A# C# D#m
Cause I've found what I have been waiting for

But to get there means crossing a line
 
F# G# A#m
I don't know how to warn you for what I'm gonna say

Cause you're holding so tight to what I'm taking away
Fm F# G# A#m
I got demons inside me, so I'm faced with a choice

Either try to ignore them, or I give them a voice
 
Fm F# G#
And it's keeping me up at night
A# C#m
Worried it's not alright

It's not about status, we know it never was

Cause what good is the kingdom when you're missing the love?

This is not a goodbye now, I'm not going away
