Intro: D A Bm G
D A
It started off as a feeling
Bm G
But the feeling it started to grow
D A
And I get stuck in the meaning
Bm G
And the end seems beyond my control
D A
I could walk to the edge in the middle of the dark
Bm G
Hold my breath, take a step, feel it all fall apart
D A
'Cause I know exactly who you are
Bm G
And I know just what you're doing to me, it's over
It's over
D A
Broken you found me
Bm G
My angel, my shoulder
D
To lean on,
A Bm
Swear when I'm with you
G D
I feel like I'll live forever
A
This moment
Bm G
Feelings exploding
D A
My heart beats alive
Bm
Now it's true
G D
I'm giving up, I surrender
G D
I'm giving up, I surrender

Hold my breath, take a step, felt it all fall apart
