Em Cadd9
Em Cadd9 A
Em Cadd9
Tell them all that I'm a work in progress
Em Cadd9 A
Pour it out and I will stay out of the way
Em Cadd9
Fill it up, for what it's worth I'm harmless
Em Cadd9 A
Cut me down and I will live with what I take
Em Cadd9
I'm not saving you for myself
Em Cadd9 A
I wanna see you and I wanna say
Em Cadd9
You're what's keeping me warm
Em Cadd9 A
You're what's keeping me safe
Em Cadd9
Take my hands and keep them
Em Cadd9 A
Busy again
Em Cadd9
I think I'm losing my whole
Em Cadd9 A
Belief system
Em Cadd9
I get a lot of problems in my head sometimes
Em Cadd9 A
And I keep on forgetting
Em Cadd9
So take my hands and keep them
Em Cadd9 A
Busy again
Em F#
Save me a place inside the quiet
Cadd9
I know hate, cause I see it in everyone around
Em F#
And lately I've been losing truth
Cadd9
Faith, I have been losing too
Em F#
Save me a place inside the quiet
Cadd9
I know hate, cause I see it in everyone around
Em F#
And lately I've been losing truth
Cadd9
Faith, I have been losing too

Take it out on all your constant losses
Em Cadd9 A
Know it's only just a miracle to face
Em Cadd9
Even death can bring a man to life
Em Cadd9 A
When he sits right up and still nothing tastes the same
Em F#
Save me a place inside the quiet
Cadd9
I know hate, cause I see it in everyone around
Em F#
And lately I've been losing truth
Cadd9
Faith, I have been losing too
Em F#
Save me a place inside the quiet
Cadd9
I know hate, cause I see it in everyone around
Em F#
And lately I've been losing truth
Cadd9
Faith, I have been losing too
