Lyrics

And I don’t (F)know;

this could break my heart, or save me.

Noth ing’s (F)real

un til you let go com plete ly.

So here I (F)go with all my (Fmaj9)thoughts I’ve been (F)sav ing;

so here I go with all my fears

weigh ing on me.

Three months, and (F)I’m

still (F)so ber;

picked all my weeds, but kept the (Dm)flow ers.

But I (F)know,

it’s nev er real ly (Dm)o ver.

And I don’t (F)know;

I could crash and burn, but (F)may be

at the (F)end of this road, (F)I might catch a glimpse (F)of me.

So I won’t (F)wor ry ’bout my (F)tim ing; I wan na get (F)it right.

No com (F)par ing, sec ond (F)guess ing; no, not (F)this time.

Three months, and I’m

still (F)breath ing.

Been a long road since those (F)hands I left my tears in.

But I (F)know,

it’s nev er real ly (Dm)o ver,

no.

Wake

Three months, and (C6)I’m still stand ing here;

three months, and I’m get ting bet ter, yeah.

Three months, and (C6)I still

Whoa, whoa.

Three months, and (C6)it’s still hard er, now; three months I’ve been liv ing here with out you, now.

Three months, yeah;

three months, I, (Bbsus2)oh,

whoa.

Three months, and (C6)I’m still breath ing.

Three months, and I still re mem ber it.

Three months; I wake

up.

Three months, and (Am)I’m

still (Bbmaj7)so ber;

picked all my weeds, but kept the (Bbmaj7)flow ers.
