Intro:
G C G
verse 1:
G D/A
You can go, you can leave this town
Em
Forget about the people and the places
C
And the faces that have let you down
G D/A
You can hide; you can change your name
Em
But the fear will always find you
If it’s coming from inside you
C
So you’ve gotta change
Pre-Chorus
G
So if it’s the same to you, you could stay with me
D/A
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams
Em C
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you
Chorus:
G D/A
Even when you feel so low like you might let go
Em
I will be the first hand reaching out
C
I will be the last one giving up on you
G D/A
Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs
Em
I will be the first hand reaching out
C G
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one
verse 2:
G D/A
If you leave, tell me where you'd go
Em
Would you lock yourself inside a place
C
So no one had a chance to face you on your own
G D/A
‘Cause when we fall down, we can stay down
Em
But the freedom that we wanna find
C
Is only found when we’re off the ground
Repeat Pre-Chorus
