Intro
E A B A (x2)
E A
I'm waiting, still waiting
B A
To see the truth in what you say

I'm falling, free falling

Through some nights and winter days
E A
Your heart needs a fresh start in a

new place that offers more
E A
My mind is a fine line
B A
Alone in a raging war

But I know, that you know
Together we stand divided we fall
E B Cm
I've given you more than I want
A E
So take a little less than you need
B Cm
Everything keeping me here
A E
Is standing right beside of me
B Cm
I've given you more than I want
A E
By keeping this under my skin

I shouldn't play alone and let go
A E
It's only a game if we win

Ooh

It's only a game if we win

It's only a game if we win

You're waiting, still waiting
B A
To turn your back on how you feel
E A
I'm calling, cold calling
B A
To save your failing memories
E A
I've tried under dark skies
B A
to pull you out of raging storms
E A
My life is a cold night
B A
Only you can keep me warm

But I know, that you know
Together we stand divided we fall
