(Intro) C C C C
(verse 1)
C
Running out, out of space
Searching for a new hiding place
Where I can escape
Someone to run to
And leave behind memories
And pictures framed of you
(Pre-Chorus I)
Am F
Now it may be hard to sleep at night
C G
But I just close my eyes and wait for the light
[Refrão]
C
There?s a war going on
G
Hits me deep in my bones
Am
I can still struggle now
F
From just being alone
C
Well it's another heartache
G
If you're been through it breaking
Am G F
There?s never a love like before
Am
And you can cry if you want
F G C - C - C - C
But it's not going to stop this war
(verse 2)
C
What would you say
If i take you back
What would you say
If i forgave you for that
In a moment of weakness
I could see you play it out
But you didn?t lose a love again
I?ll tell you that now
(Pre-Chorus II)
Am F
It's better than the silence of being alone
C G
The risk in the nights you spend sleeping by the phone
[Refrão]
