Key: E
Introduction:
D A
I know I need you now and I hate it
G Bm
I'm scared that If I lose you I won't make it
D A
But ain't nobody do me like you do
G
The way you break my heart in two
Bm G D
So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?
D A
You have really been the only way to
G
Live through the civil wars, and
G
Nine elevens and holocausts then
Dream of a better dawn
D A
I remember when you taught me how to fly
G
I used to treasure you like gold
G
When ignorance was bliss back then
D
But so much has changed with time
A
I've watched some people die since then
G
Now I've lost most fights that I've fought and
G
I feel more broken than whole and
D
I've cried more than often than not
A
And I know that it's you in it all
G
So it makes me scared to trust you
G
When you're so often full of it
A
Pretend that I don't let it bother me
G
But I do, and it does
D A
I know I need you now and I hate it
G Bm
I'm scared that If I lose you I won't make it
D A
But ain't nobody do me like you do
Em A
The way you break my heart in two
Em Bm A D
So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?
D A
Your light used to keep me up at night
G
Dreaming of all I could be
A
Anything could happen, these days
A D
An unaffordable luxury
A
I love you, I ain't gonna lie
G
You've been like water to my tree
Bm D
Now you're slowly drowning me
G
And it's hard for me to see why
A
We're still standing here
D A
I know I need you now and I hate it
G Bm A
I'm scared that If I lose you I won't make it
D A
But ain't nobody do me like you do
Em A
The way you break my heart in two
Em Bm A D
So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?
D
Maybe our time's come and gone on
A
Me and you had a long time, a nice run
G
But everything good always has an end come
G
And maybe it's time you and I move on
D
But you're the one carrying me to the next line
A
Have I've let you let me down for the last time
G
I need you more than I've ever had to
G
But I don't want to
Bm
Don't let me lose you
D A
I know I need you now and I hate it
G Bm A
I'm scared that If I lose you I won't make it
D A
But ain't nobody do me like you do
