[Intro: ]C G Dm F ( G )
C G
The city of angles is lonely tonight
Dm
Keep myself alive by candle light
F
Say she can love you like I do
C
Look me in the eyes and say it's true
G
I ask myself, is this love at all
Dm
When I need you most you let me fall
F
I'm always here at the side of your stage
Dm F
Let you live your life and pretend I'm okay
C
I'll be okay
G
I'll hold you close we'll stay forever

I don't understand why you're leaving me
F C
I don't understand why without you I can't breathe
G
Please don't, don't leave me here
Dm
Take my hand and bleeding tears
F
I don't understand why you can't
C
Take me with you
G
You can pretend I don't exist
Dm
But you'll see my face every time you kiss
F
I hope you hurt and your walls fall down
Dm F
When you hear the sound that I'm okay
C
I'll be okay

You can't hold me down, I won't stay forever

I don't understand why you're leaving me

I don't understand why without you I can't breathe

Please don't, don't leave me here

Take my hand and bleeding tears

I watched you leave

Walk away tonight

And I'm letting go for the last time

And through the tears I say goodbye

So breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe out
