Capo 3
A A7 D
If you want, I could say your name,
A A7 D
Hold our breath, so we'll feel again,
A A7 D
I don't know if I could sacrifice; the weeks that I spent,
A A7 D
Holding on by a single thread.
D
But I've been spending all sleepless nights,
A A7
On the floor.
D
And now I don't even close my eyes,
A A7
Anymore.
D
And I don't want it to happen twice,
A A7 D
Cause we've been here once before.
A A7 D
It was you, said it all went wrong,
A
Well we were just fine yesterday,
A7 D
Now today you're gone.
A
But now in a second glance,
A7
You only need a second chance,
D
But I can't.
A A7 D
I'm afraid that I'm not that strong.
D
But I've been spending all sleepless nights,
A A7
On the floor.
D
And now I don't even close my eyes,
A A7
Anymore.
D
And I don't want it to happen twice,
A A7 D
Cause we've been here once before.
D
But I've been spending all sleepless nights,
A A7
On the floor.
D
And now I don't even close my eyes,
A A7
Anymore.
D
And I don't want it to happen twice,
A A7 D
Cause we've been here once before.
