[VERSE 1]
E 
 Small town, just north of the city, 
           B                     G#m       B
 There's a girl all alone by the window in need and she,
E
 She's thinking that this worlds too much to take
B             G#m      B
 It could use one less heart to break
E
 She stares down at the world below
 B                                    G#m      B
 Fools herself to thinking she should just let go, I know
E                               B     G#m  B
 I wish she knew she wasn't so alone


[PRE-CHORUS]
     F#
 She left us a letter to outline the facts
         E
 How she felt so alone like the world turned their backs
     F#
 Her parents don't notice she's slipping away
       E
 She'd still be around if she just heard them say


[CHORUS]
          E                              B      G#m B
 It's the ups and downs of living life this way
 E                           B   G#m B
 Promise me you'll never go away
      E
 Just stay with me through one more night
               B               G#m      B
 Because it's always darkest before the light
           E                            B   G#m B
 And now I promise you I'll never turn away
E                                          B*
 I won't let you give us one less heart to break


[VERSE 2]
E
 Flash back to early that year
             B                                   G#m        B
 Between his home life and school he wished he'd just disappear, I know
E                                           B
 He's thinking that this worlds too much to take
              G#m      B
 It could use one less heart to break
E     
 Whole world coming down on his back
            B                             G#m           B
 He takes a bottle of pills and then he's finished with that, I know
E                             B     G#m  B
 I wish he knew he wasn't so alone


[PRE-CHORUS]
    F#
 He left us a letter to outline the facts
        E

          E                              B      G#m B

 E                           B   G#m B
 Promise me you'll never go away
      E
 Just stay with me through one more night
               B               G#m      B
 Because it's always darkest before the light
           E                            B   G#m B
 And now I promise you I'll never turn away
E                                          B     G#m B
 I won't let you give us one less heart to break
