verse 1
Am F
I'm caught up in the worst of it
C G
Struggling to stand against the wind
Am F
And circling the deep abyss
C G
Hoping to escape before I'm lost
Pre-Chorus
Am F
And I can see the light is fading
C G
Burning out and time is thin
Am F
Don't count me with the damages just yet
C G
I know that I have fire left
verse 2
Am F
Don't think about what's caving in
C G
The only way to build is patiently
Am F
And focusing on piece by piece
C G
When everything is falling apart right from the start
Pre-Chorus
Am F
Who wants to keep on moving?
C G Am F
The ones who do, see the light as something new
C G
So make up your mind and how hard you'll try
[Refrão] F C G
Before the world starts fading out and I hit the ground
Am G
I hope to know it was worth it
F C G
Inside I think I might just lose my mind
Am G
But I hope to God it was worth it
F C Am G
Oh, should I believe I can make it out and recover?
F C G C
Oh, I hope to God it was worth it
verse 3
Am F
I sway between the cost of both
C G
To push ahead or save what I have left
Am F
And it leaves me standing motionless
C G
Afraid that I'll be missing a chance or filled with regret
Pre-Chorus
Am F C G
It's a line I'm faced with and I'm the one to blame
C F G
And I find myself, wondering if I can change
[Refrão] F C G
Before the world starts fading out and I hit the ground
Am G
I hope to know it was worth it
F C G
Inside I think I might just lose my mind
Am G
But I hope to God it was worth it
F C Am G
Oh, should I believe I can make it out and recover?
F C G
Oh, I hope to God it was worth it
Bridge
F C G
I can't force my lungs to breathe like they used to
F C
I can't force my lungs to breathe like they used to
[Refrão] F C G
Before the world starts fading out and I hit the ground
Am G
I hope to know it was worth it
F C G
Inside I think I might just lose my mind
Am G
But I hope to God it was worth it
