Intro: F--C--Am--C--F--C--C--C(hold)


Verse 1:
F
weak for lack of oxygen
 C
strangled by the thought
Am
promise you?ll remember
         C     F
when i?m gone sleep
is mostly optional
      C
trace lines
around my heart
 Am
steal the only breath
             C
from my lungs


Chorus 1:
       F
and if i had your
     C      Am        C
faith i?d be  fearless
      F
but until that
   C    C      C(hold)
day i?m envious


Verse 2:
F
miles and miles
that distance us
     C
like meters on a map
      Am
trace lines that only
                  C
translate to a day


Chorus 2:
       F           C
but if you?re awake
Am               C
tell me it?s safe
       F
if you ask me to
    C              C C--
stay then I?ll stay


Bridge:
     C
don?t leave me here
        Am
when i?m  bleeding
         G     F
when i?m fading
            C
but i?m true
        C
and it?s tempting
       Am
to stop  everything
         G
when i?m pouring
F      C
out to you


Outro:
       C
so take everything
       Am
take it  all from
   G
me all i want 
F             C(hold)
all i want is you
