C#m A9
I try to run, I try to hide
E5 B9
From a voice that couldn't satisfy
C#m A9
That was me, always needing more
E B9
But letting go of all I had before
C#m A9 E
Cause it feels like the end
B9 C#m
A wound that I can't mend
A9 E B9
I just can't fight any longer
A9 B9
You waited 'til I sobered
C#m E
You came when You knew that
B9
The game was over
A9 B9
I didn't even want to be found
F#m
But you chased me down and
A9 E
Broke in just when
B9
I was done believing
F#m A9 E
Spun me 'round so close now
B9
I can feel you breathing
F#m A9 E
Sunlight burns inside and
B9
I feel so alive and
F#m A9 E
Help me now, tell me how
B9 B5
How can this last forever, forever

E B9
But I couldn't find what I searched for

Every move I make is the wrong one
C#m A9 E B9 C#m
You patiently wait for my next mistake

Than I could ever ask for

A road the left me hollow
A9 E B9
And still you waited for me

To come back home
