    Bm - A - G (2x)
 
                  D           Em         G
1. And I'd give up forever to touch you
                    Bm                 A                   G
    'cause I know that you feel me somehow.
                        D            Em              G
    You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be,
              Bm                A             G
    and I don't want to go home right now.
 
             D         Em                 G
2. And all I can taste is this moment,
           Bm            A                   G
    and all I can breathe is your life,
              D          Em         G
    and sooner or later it's over
              Bm                 A              G
    I just don't want to miss you tonight.
 
           Bm                   A          G
And I don't want the world to see me,
              Bm                      A                G
'cause I don't think that they'd understand.
          Bm                  A                 G
When everything's made to be broken,
         Bm                  A             G
I just want you to know who I am.
 
+  Bm - A - G (2x)
 
                    D                  Em                    G
3. And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
                 Bm             A                G
    or the moment of truth in your lies,
                 D            Em                  G
    when everything feels like the movies
                        Bm                 A               G
     yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
 
           Bm                   A          G
And I don't want the world to see me,
              Bm                      A                G
'cause I don't think that they'd understand.
          Bm                  A                 G
When everything's made to be broken,
         Bm                  A             G
I just want you to know who I am.
