Intro: F--C--Am--C--F--C--C--C(hold)


Verse 1:
F
weak for lack of oxygen
 C
strangled by the thought
Am
promise you’ll remember
         C     F
when i’m gone sleep
is mostly optional
      C
trace lines
around my heart
 Am
steal the only breath
             C
from my lungs


Chorus 1:
       F
and if i had your
     C      Am        C
faith i’d be  fearless
      F
but until that
   C    C      C(hold)
day i’m envious


Verse 2:
F
miles and miles
that distance us
     C
like meters on a map
      Am
trace lines that only
                  C
translate to a day


Chorus 2:
       F           C
but if you’re awake
Am               C
tell me it’s safe
       F
if you ask me to
    C              C C--
stay then I’ll stay


Bridge:
     C
don’t leave me here
        Am
when i’m  bleeding
         G     F
when i’m fading
            C
but i’m true
        C
and it’s tempting
       Am
to stop  everything
         G
when i’m pouring
F      C
out to you


Outro:
       C
so take everything
       Am
take it  all from
   G
me all i want 
F             C(hold)
all i want is you
