Capo 2

C#m

C#m
Holding high your little head
F#m
Walking backwards in his steps
E                     A
Nobody knows you're dead
C#m
Lifeless heartbeat in your chest
F#m                      A          B
Waiting the day you can rest

C#m
Take it from someone who sees
F#m
Both sides of the story
E                         A
In the end I'm trying to break you
C#m
So much that I know you need
F#m                         A
How did you wake from your sleep?

E            A
And I just had to tell you
C#m           B
I tried and tried
E               A            C#m            B
But times goes by and now I hold my tears inside

A

C#m
Boy you got that sparkle eye
F#m
One I'd hope and pray I'd find
E                       A
So much for loving you madly
C#m
Wonder which way you will go
F#m                       A
Dragging my heart along with you

E           A
And I just had to tell you
C#m           B
I tried and tried
E               A            C#m             B
But times goes by and now I hold my tears inside

F#m            B
And I want to know
F#m         B
If I should go
F#m            B          A
And I want to know


And I just had to tell you

I tried and tried

But times goes by and now I hold my tears inside


And I just had to tell you

I tried and I tried

But times goes by and now I hold my tears inside

(end on these)
A, E, A, E
