Introduction:CEmAm7G x2
CEmAm7G When you try your best but you don't succeed, CEmAm7G When you get what you want, but not what you need, CEmAm7G When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep, CEmAm7G Stuck in reverse.
CEmAm7G And the tears come streaming down your face, CEmAm7G When you lose something you can't replace, CEmAm7G When you love someone but it goes to waste, CEmAm7GF Could it be worse?
FCGF Lights will guide you home, FCGF And ignite your bones, FCG And I will try to fix you,
CEmAm7G High up above or down below, CEmAm7G When you're too in love to let it go, CEmAm7G But if you never try you'll never know, CEmAm7GF Just what you're worth.
FCGF Lights will guide you home, FCGF And ignite your bones, FCG And I will try to fix you.
