    Vertical Horizon

D            A            G  
I found the pieces in my hand
D                 A             G  
They were always there It just took some time for me to understand
D            A                 G  
You gave me words I just can't say 
D            A               G  
So if nothing else I'll just hold on while you drift away 

PRE-CHORUS 1
Em                             D     
Cause everything you wanted me to hide 
Em                              D       G   A  
Is everything that makes me feel alive 

CHORUS
D  
The cities grow 
A  
The rivers flow 
G  
Where you are, I never know 
    D    A     G  
But I'm still here 
   D                    
If you were right and
A  
I was wrong 
G  
Why are you the one who's gone 
    D    A     G  
And I'm still here 
               D  
I'm still here 

VERSE 2 (W/ VERSE RIFF)
D               A            G  
You've seen the ashes in my heart 
D              A            G  
You smile the widest when I cry inside and my insides blow apart 
D          A            G  
I tried to wear another face
D                 A             G  
Just to make you proud, just to make you put me in my place 

PRE-CHORUS 2
Em                         D  
But everything you wanted from me 
Em                         D        G   A  
Is everything that I could never be 

CHORUS
D  
The cities grow 
A  
The rivers flow 
G  
Where you are, I never know 
    D    A     G  
But I'm still here 
   D                    
If you were right and
A  
I was wrong 
G  
Why are you the one who's gone 
    D    A     G  
And I'm still here 
               D  
I'm still here 

And I'm still here 

BRIDGE
D         Em                    Bm 
Maybe tonight, it's gonna be alright 
   A        G  
I  will get better 
D        A                    Bm 
Maybe today , it's gonna be okay 
  A      G      A  
I will remember 

VERSE 3 (W/ VERSE RIFF UNTIL FINAL G  )
D           A           G  
I held the pieces of my soul 
D         A            G  
I was shattered and I wanted you to come and make me whole 
D          A         G  
Then I saw you yesterday 
    D          A       G  
but you didn't notice, you just walked away

PRE-CHORUS 3
Em                             D     
Cause everything you wanted me to hide 
Em                              D      
Is everything that makes me feel alive 

CHORUS
    D  
The cities grow 
    A  
The rivers flow 
G  
Where you are, I never know 
    D    A     G  
But I'm still here 
   D                    
If you were right and
A  
I was wrong 
G  
Why are you the one who's gone 
    D    A     G  
And I'm still here 

OUTRO CHORUS
     D                  
The lights go out
     A  
the bridges burn 
G  
Once you're gone, you can't return 
    D    A     G  
But I'm still here
D                      
Remember how
    A  
You used to say
   G  
I'd be the one to run away 
    D    A     G  
But I'm still here
               D
I'm still here

I'm still here
