Verse 1
=======

Bm          Bm/A
  How can I find you 
            Gmaj7         E7
When you're always hiding from yourself 

Bm                 Bm/A
  Playing hide and seek with me 
        Gmaj7             E7               Bm
Till it gets too dark too dark inside your shell 

         Bm/A
Why do I even try 
         Gmaj7
When you take me for granted 
E7                      Bm
I should know better by now 
         Bm/A           Gmaj7     E7
When you call I already hear that crashing sound 
                Bm   C#m   D   E7
As it all falls down 

Chorus 1
========

G                                           Bm  C#m  D
  It's never too late to turn it back a-round 
       Em7  /F# G
Yeah I know you can
                                     Bm  C#m  D
  Don't bury your demons deep in the ground 
        Em7 /F#   G
When it all falls down
                Bm Bm/A Gmaj7
The only way is up up   u---p 
D           D/C#   Bm Bm/A Gmaj7   
   The only way is up up

Verse 2
=======

Bm              Bm/A
   I watch your spirit break 
      Gmaj7           E7            Bm
As it shatters into a million pieces 
          Bm/A              Gmaj7
Just like glass I see right through you 
            E7
And your pa-rade of excuses 
Bm            Bm/A
   Feels like groundhog day 
    Gmaj7               E7
You say the same things over and over 
Bm              Bm/A
   There's that look in your eye 
      Gmaj7              E7
And I hear that crashing sound 
                Bm   C#m   D   Em7
As it all falls down 

Chorus 2
========

G                                           Bm  C#m  D
  It's never too late to turn it back a-round 
      Em7  /F# G
And I know you can
                                     Bm  C#m  D
  Don't bury your demons deep in the ground 
        Em7 /F#   G
When it all falls down
                Bm Bm/A Gmaj7
The only way is up up   u---p
D           D/C#   Bm Bm/A Gmaj7   
   The only way is up up

Bridge
======

          D           G
It's your love that's strong 
         D                        G
It's the only thing that keeps me holding on 
          D            G
It's your heart that's weak 
         F#                                E7
But it's not too weak to bring you back to me 

Bm  C#m  D  Em7 /F#

  Don't bury your demons deep in the ground 
        Em7 /F#   G
When it all falls down

When it all falls down

The only way is up 

                Bm Bm/A Gmaj7
