 VERSE 1 (W/ VERSE RIFF)
 
 C#5                G#5    F#5 
 I found the pieces in my hand
 C#5               G#5           F#5                               
 They were always there It just took some time for me to understand
 C#5          G#5               F#5 
 You gave me words I just can't say
 C#5          G#              F#5                         
 So if nothing else I'll just hold on while you drift away
 
 PRE-CHORUS 1
 
 D#5                            C#5    
 Cause everything you wanted me to hide
 D#5                             C#5    F#5 G#5 
 Is everything that makes me feel alive 
 
 CHORUS
 
 C#5            
 The cities grow
 G#5            
 The rivers flow
 F#5                        
 Where you are, I never know
     C#5  G#5   F#5 
 But I'm still here
    C#5               
 If you were right and
 G#5        
 I was wrong
 F#5                           
 Why are you the one who's gone
     C#5  G#5   F#5 
 And I'm still here
                C#5 
 I'm still here 
 
 VERSE 2 (W/ VERSE RIFF)
 
 C#5             G#5          F#5 
 You've seen the ashes in my heart
 C#5            G#5          F#5                                 
 You smile the widest when I cry inside and my insides blow apart
 C#5        G#5          F#5 
 I tried to wear another face
 C#5               G#5           F#5                        
 Just to make you proud, just to make you put me in my place
 
 PRE-CHORUS 2
 
 D#5                        C#5   
 But everything you wanted from me
 D#5                        C#5      F#5 G#5 
 Is everything that I could never be 
 
 CHORUS
 
 C#5            
 The cities grow
 G#5            
 The rivers flow
 F#5                        
 Where you are, I never know
     C#5  G#5   F#5 
 But I'm still here
    C#5               
 If you were right and
 G#5        
 I was wrong
 F#5                           
 Why are you the one who's gone
     C#5  G#5   F#5 
 And I'm still here
                C#5 
 I'm still here 
 
 And I'm still here
 
 BRIDGE
 
 C#5       D#5                   A#5 
 Maybe tonight, it's gonna be alright
   G#5      F#5   
 I will get better
 C#5      G#5                  A#5 
 Maybe today , it's gonna be okay
   G#5    F#5    G#5 
 I will remember 
 
 VERSE 3 (W/ VERSE RIFF UNTIL FINAL F#5)
 
 C#5         G#5         F#5 
 I held the pieces of my soul
 C#5       G#5          F#5                                
 I was shattered and I wanted you to come and make me whole
 C#5        G#5       F#5 
 Then I saw you yesterday
     C#5        G#5     F#5                 
 but you didn't notice, you just walked away
 
 PRE-CHORUS 3
 
 D#5                            C#5    
 Cause everything you wanted me to hide
 D#5                             C#5   
 Is everything that makes me feel alive
 
 CHORUS
 
     C#5        
 The cities grow
     G#5        
 The rivers flow
 F#5                        
 Where you are, I never know
     C#5  G#5   F#5 
 But I'm still here
    C#5               
 If you were right and
 G#5        
 I was wrong
 F#5                           
 Why are you the one who's gone
     C#5  G#5   F#5 
 And I'm still here
 
 OUTRO CHORUS
 
      C#5         
 The lights go out
      G#5        
 the bridges burn
 F#5                               
 Once you're gone, you can't return
     C#5  G#5   F#5 
 But I'm still here
 C#5         
 Remember how
     G#5        
 You used to say
    F#5                    
 I'd be the one to run away
     C#5  G#5   F#5 
 But I'm still here
               C# 
 I'm still here
 I'm still here
