[INTRO]

Em   Gmaj7
Em   Gmaj7


[Verse]

Em                Gmaj7
I've been here before
Em                   Gmaj7
but always hit the floor
     Cmaj7    
I've spent a lifetime running
      Bsus4
and I always get away
          Cmaj7            
but with you I'm feeling something
     Bsus4              B
That makes me want to stay

Em                Gmaj7
I'm prepared for this
Em                Gmaj7
I never shoot to miss
             Cmaj7 
but I feel like a storm is coming
         Bsus4
If I'm gonna make it through the day
               Cmaj7
Then there's no more use in running
          Bsus4             B
This is something I gotta face


[chorus]

Em D/F#  G      C
If  I   risk it all
Em    D/F#  G       B
could you break my fall?
          Em               D
how do I live? How do I breathe?
                 C               D
When you're not here I'm suffocating
                 Em                  D
I want to feel love, run through my blood
            C                       Bm
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
     Am            Am7    Bm  B
for you I have to risk it a-all
                             (Em)
cause the writing's on the wall


Em  Gmaj7


[Verse]

Em                   Gmaj7
a million shards of glass
Em                     Gmaj7
That haunt me from my past
        Cmaj7
as the stars begin to gather
         Bsus4
and the light begins to fade
          Cmaj7
When all hope begins to shatter
          Bsus4        B
Know that I won't be afraid


[chorus]

Em D/F#  G      C
If  I   risk it all
Em    D/F#  G       B
could you break my fall?
          Em               D
how do I live? how do I breathe?
                 C               D
When you're not here I'm suffocating
                 Em                  D
I want to feel love, run through my blood
            C                       Bm
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
     Am            Am7    Bm  B
for you I have to risk it a-all
                            Em   Gmaj7
cause the writing's on the wa-aaall
                      Em   Gmaj7
The writing's on the wa-aaaall

C    Bsus4
C    Bsus4  B


[chorus]

          Em               D
how do I live? how do I breathe?
                 C               D
When you're not here I'm suffocating
                 Em                  D
I want to feel love, run through my blood
            C                       D
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
          Em               D
how do I live? how do I breathe?
                 C               D
When you're not here I'm suffocating
                 Em                  D
I want to feel love, run through my blood
            C                       Bm
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
     Am            Am7    Bm  B
for you I have to risk it a-all
                            Em
cause the writing's on the wall
