Lyrics

(D)Star ing right back in the face, a mem o ry can’t be e rased.

I know

be cause I tried.

(D)Start to feel the emp ti ness and ev ’ry thing I’m gon na miss, I know

that I can’t hide.

I (G)All this time is (A)pass ing by.

I (G)think it’s time to (A)just move (A)on.

When you come (D)back down,

if (G)you land (Em7)on your feet, I hope you find a way to make it back to me.

When you come (D)a round,

(G)I’ll be (Em7)there for you.

Don’t have to be a lone with what you’re go ing through.

(D)Stop to breathe and fake a smile.

It’s all the same af ter a while.

I know

that you are tired.

(D)Car ry ing the ones you lost, a pic ture framed with all the thoughts I know

you hold in side.

I (G)hope that you can (A)find your way back (G)to the place where (A)you be (A)long.

When you come (D)back down,

if (G)you land (Em7)on your feet, I hope you find a way to make it back to me.

When you come (D)a round,

(G)I’ll be (Em7)there for you.

Don’t have to be a lone with what you’re go ing through.

a lone with what you’re go ing through.

(You’re com ing back down.) You (Em)said you feel lost.

Can I help you find it?

(When you come a round.) From time to time we all are blind ed.

(You’re com ing back down.) You (Em)don’t have to tell me what you’re feel ing.

I know what you’re go ing through.

I won’t be the one who lets go of you.

I (G)think it’s time to (A)just move (A)on.

a lone with what you’re go ing through.
