[Intro ]Bm Bsus2 G x2
 
Verse
D Em G
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Bm A G
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
D Em
You're the closest to heaven
G
That I've ever been
Bm A G
And I don't wanna go home right now
D Em G
And all I can taste is this moment
Bm A G
And all I can breathe is your life
D Em G
Cause sooner or later it's over
Bm A G
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
 
Chorus
Bm A G
And I don't want the world to see me
Bm A G
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
Bm A G
When everything's made to be broken
Bm A G
I just want you to know who I am
 
Bm Bsus2 G x2
 
Then the verse and Chorus are repeated once through.
 
After that, there is a small solo? That links to the bridge which is:
 
Bm Bsus2 G x2
 
Then there is a small part where they harmonise and played over that is:
 
Bm A G
(played twice, letting each chord ring)
 
The bridge is then played using the same chords as the Chorus
 
Then it links back to the final Chorus with:
G
I just want you to know who I am
Bm A G
And I don't want the world to see me
Bm A G
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
Bm A G
When everything's made to be broken
Bm A G
I just want you to know who I am
Bm A G
I just want you to know who I am
 
That's basically it so hopefully it sounds okay for you guys. Let me know if you have any
corrections and I'll sort them ASAP! Thanks :)
