F#
I hardly recognize those eyes,
F#
like a ghost you hide behind
C#
You've been drifting
F#
It didn't happen overnight,
F#
somethings changed and you and I
C#
Have to find it

For the life of me, I'm not giving up
[Refrão]C#
Let the wind take your cares
G#
Far away, now honey
D#
Leave your fear
F#
With someone else
C#
All the fields that are wheat

if you just keep running

Shouldn't take this on yourself

I know you well,
C# G# D#
Better than you know yourself

When they wonder where you've been

What's the answer I should give?
C#
What do i tell them?

Cause you might never find the way for you to

Make this go away if you don't face this

For the life of me, I'm not giving up

Let the wind take your cares

Far away, now honey

Leave your fear

With someone else

Shouldn't take this on yourself
