[Intro]
Dm C F Bb C
 
[Verse 1]
Dm C F
It never hurts to say, "Hello"
Bb Am C
Untill the part where we let go
Dm C F
'Cause I see my heroes stumble and fall
Bb F C
It turned out they weren't heroes at all
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C
I thought our house was a castle
F
Nothing could break down those walls
Bb F
It didn't matter how much they loved us
C
It fell apart
 
[Chorus]
Dm
So I'm scared I'll end up like my parents
C F
I don't wanna do that to you
Bb
And just see the kids on the weekends
F C
Because one of us had to move
Dm
I know that staying together
C F
Can split up a family in two
Bb
So I never believed in forever
F C
But if that's ever gonna come true
Dm
I need somebody like you
 
[Post-Chorus]
C F
(I need somebody, I need somebody)
Bb
Somebody like you
F C
(I need somebody) I need somebody
 
[Verse 2]
Dm C F
It's not that I wanna be alone
Bb F C
But it's less to lose when you're on your own
Dm C F
Ohh, and why would I ever get it right
Bb Dm C
When I know how hard my heroes tried?
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C
I thought our house was a castle
F
Nothing could break down those walls
Bb F
It didn't matter how much they loved us
C
It fell apart
 
[Chorus]

So I'm scared I'll end up like my parents

Somebody like you
