Intro (Picking)
G | Cadd9 D/F# | Em7 C G | Em7 C G


[Verse]

G                            
And I've been down this road 
Cadd9        D/F#
before a thousand times
    Em7    Cadd9   G
And I realize
                         Cadd9   
Am I wasting my time, am I toeing 
      D/F#
the line
            Em7       Cadd9     G
Between the shadows I keep 
      Em7       Cadd9      G
within, the shadows I keep within?


[Pre-Chorus]

    Em              Dadd4         
And I've been, I've been waiting, 
G                    C
been waiting for the storms to drown
 me out
    Em              Dadd4        
And my screams have been fading, 
G            C
been fading out to the sounds but
    Em          Dadd4      C
But you say you've got me


[Chorus]

G
And I said, I said, hold me dear
Dadd4                             
And you said, you said, don't you 
             Em
forget about all I've done
                            C
I'll wear your heart like a keepsake
G
And I said, I said, hold me dear

Dadd4                             
And you said, you said, listen to 
             Em
me, we've come this far
                          C        
And that's when you asked me to lay
               G   Cadd9
 my guard down
D/F#                 Em7   Cadd9 
To lay my guard down
  G   Em7   Cadd9   G



[Verse]
G                            
And I've been down this road 
Cadd9             D/F#
before a thousand times
    Em7    Cadd9   G
But I realize
Is it time that I give in to this 
Cadd9         D/F#
state of mind
    Em7    Cadd9   G     Em7    
Just to find my highs, justify 
Cadd9   G
my lies


[Pre-Chorus]

    Em              Dadd4         
Well I've been, I've been waiting,
G                    C
 I've been waiting for the storms to
 drown me out
    Em              Dadd4        
And my screams have been fading, 
G                 C
have been fading out to the sounds 
but
    Em          Dadd4      C
But you say you've got me


[Chorus]

G
And I said, I said, hold me dear
Dadd4                             
And you said, you said, don't you 
             Em
forget about all I've done
                            C
I'll wear your heart like a keepsake
G
And I said, I said, hold me dear
Dadd4                             
And you said, you said, listen to 
             Em
me, we've come this far
                    C
And that's when you asked me


[Bridge]

    Em               Dadd4        
But Lord knows, well I've tried, 
     C
but I need you now, I need you now
    Em               Dadd4        
Lord knows, well I've tried, so 
     C
hold me down, so hold me down


[Chorus]

(one stacatto strum)
G
And I said, I said, hold me dear
Dadd4                             
And you said, you said, don't you 
             Em
forget about all I've done
                            C
I'll wear your heart like a keepsake
G
And I said, I said, hold me dear
Dadd4                             
And you said, you said, listen to 
             Em
me, we've come this far
                    C              
And that's when you asked me to lay
              G   Cadd9
 my guard down
D/F#                 Em7   Cadd9 
To lay my guard down
  G   Em7   Cadd9   G
