Em7
I'm a dreamer
G
But it's hard to sleep when your head's not in it
Em7
I've been restless
G
Cause you disappeared and that's all that's missing
Am C
The Earth is loose under my shoes
Em7
There's an angel
G
And he's shaped like you, and I thought I knew him
Em7
There's a window
G
And it's dark inside, but the light was in it
Am C
This can't be love if it hurts so much
Am C
I need to let go
 
C G D Dsus4 Em7 D
I will survive and be the one who's stronger
C G D Em7 D
I will not beg you to stay
C G D Dsus4 Em7 D
I will move on and you should know I mean it
C G D
Wild horses run in me
 
Em7
I remember
G
How we danced so close, I would stand on your feet
Em7
And the phone calls
G
That would last all night, they were lifeboats to me
Am C
Our fading scars, just shooting stars
Am C
They're here, then go
 
C G D Dsus4 Em7 D
I will survive and be the one who's stronger

I will not beg you to stay

Wild horses run in me
 
Am G D Em7
Our human hearts, forget how strong they are
C G D
And they get lost along the way, hey
Am G D Em7
It's not giving up, it's letting go
C G D
And moving to a better place
 
C G D Dsus4 Em7 D
I will survive and be the one who's stronger

I will not beg you to stay

I will move on and you should know I mean it

Wild horses run in me
