 G, C, G, C

     G           C        G      C             Am             G  (C, G, C)      
 I'm starting to feel we stay together out of fear of dying alone
           G                    C          G                C
 I've been slipping through the years, my old clothes don't fit like
           Am                     C                         G    (C, G, C)
 they once did, so they hang like ghosts of the people I've been. 
                  G              C      G       C           Am 
 but it's like my heart can't contain i fall in love every day
                   G    (C, G, C)
 and i feel like a fool.
   G                 C          G                 C                    Am
 I have to face the truth, that no one could ever look at me like you do
                    C                G  (C, G, C)
 like I'm something worth holding on to.
         D                 Am                Em                   C
 There's times I think of leaving, but it's something I'll never do.
        G          D          E       Am          C          G
 Cause you can do better than me, but I can't do better than you.
 G           D          E       Am         C           G
 You can do better than me, but I can't do better than you.
