Intro: C-Am-C-Am


C                      Am
Love, I won't break your heart;
          G                 Am     (G)                               
It?s a long way down from here.
      C                        Am                                     
Every time you fall and break apart,
        G            Am     (G)
I will pick you up again.


                   C                G
With your head up high, would you try,
Am                 Em                    F
try to place your feet back on the ground.
      G              Am        G
I?ve found that it?s easier to hide 
        C       G
in the cold alone;
     Am               Em           F      G
an arrival since the day you fell apart.
        Am         G
Oh but honey I'm alive.


Repeat C-G-Am-Em-F-G-Am-G

C                      Am
Love, I won't break your heart,
              G              Am    (G)
?cause I?ve seen this all before.
          C                        Am
You?re a fire that grows from just a spark,
         G                     Am     (G)
and then walks right out the door.



                   C                G
With your head up high, would you try,
Am                 Em                    F
try to place your feet back on the ground.
      G              Am        G
I?ve found that it?s easier to hide 
        C       G
in the cold alone;
     Am               Em           F      G
an arrival since the day you fell apart.
        Am         G
Oh but honey I'm alive.



F             G
Crying on the phone,
C                       Am
when you said you were alone.
F          G
I am gonna stay,
            C                  Am
though your friends have gone away.
        F                  G
All the secrets that we have
      C                 Am
only keep the worlds alive.
                 F                 G
But you've got something left to give,
          C              Am
if you'd only learn to live.


                   C                G
With your head up high, would you try,
      Am               Em                 F
cause you?re the only one to pull me through.
     G
Its true,
         Am               G
and it seems a waste of time
         C    G
to grow old alone.
           Am               Em          F     G
We?ve been dying since the day we fell apart.
       Am       G
Oh but honey I'm still alive. I?m still alive?

Repeat 2x C-G-Am-Em-F-G-Am-G

Ends on C



If you don't want to tune your guitar down, you can use a capo 
on the 2nd fret and replace C with A, Am with F#m, G with E, 
F with D, and Em with C#m, and that sounds okay too.
