Introduction: C    Am7    G4    F    

                                C  
Loving can hurt
                                Am7  
Loving can hurt sometimes
                                  G4                                                    F  
But it' s the only thing that I know
                                     C  
When it gets hard
                                                        Am7  
You know it can get hard sometimes
                          G4  
It is the only thing that
                                          F  
Makes us feel alive
Am7                                                                      F  
             We keep this love in a photograph
C                                                                 G4  
     We made these memories for ourselves
                             Am7  
Where our eyes are never closing
                F  
Our hearts were never broken
             C                                                         G4  
And time' s forever frozen still
                                C  
So you can keep me inside the pocket
                        G4  
Of your ripped jeans
                                                                          Am7  
Holding me close until our eyes meet
                                                     F  
You won' t ever be alone
                                                             C  
Wait for me to come home
                                C  
Loving can heal
                                  Am7  
Loving can mend your soul
                                  G4                                                      F  
And it' s the only thing that I know
                                                     C  
I swear it will get easier
                                                                     Am7  
Remember that with every piece of ya
                                  G4  
And it' s the only thing we take
                                             F  
With us when we die
Am7                                                                         F  
             We keep this love in a photograph
C                                                                 G4  
     We made these memories for ourselves
                             Am7  
Where our eyes are never closing
             F  
Our hearts were never broken
  C                                                         G4  
Time' s forever frozen still
                                C  
So you can keep me inside the pocket
                        G4  
Of your ripped jeans
                                                                          Am7  
Holding me close until our eyes meet
                                                     F  
You won' t ever be alone
                                C  
And if you hurt me that' s okay baby
                G4  
Only words bleed
                                                                             Am7  
Inside these pages you just hold me
                                                                     F  
And I won' t ever let you go
                                                        Am7  
Wait for me to come home
                                                        F  
Wait for me to come home
                                                        C  
Wait for me to come home
                                                        G4  
Wait for me to come home
                                     C  
So you could fit me
Inside the necklace you got
                                        G4  
When you were sixteen
Next to your heartbeat
                          Am7  
Where I should be
                                                                     F  
Keep it deep within your soul
                                C  
And if you hurt me
Well, that' s okay baby
                  G4  
Only words bleed
                                                                             Am7  
Inside these pages you just hold me
                                                                     F  
And I won' t ever let you go
                             C  
When I' m away
                                                                  G4  
I will remember how you kissed me
                                                                        Am7  
Under the lamppost back on 6th street
                                                                                          F  
Hearing you whisper through the phone
Wait for me to come home
