(A5)You know me the (Bsus)best, you know my (C#m)worst, see me hurt, but you don’t judge.

(A5)That right there is (Bsus)the scar i est (C#m)feel ing.

(A5)O pen ing and (Bsus)clos ing up a (C#m)gain, I’ve been hurt so I don’t trust.

(A5)Now, here we are (Bsus)star ing at the (C#m)ceil ing.

I’ve said those words be (Asus2)fore, but it (Bsus)was a lie.

And (E5)you de serve to (Asus2)hear them a (Bsus)thou sand times.

If all it is is eight (A)let ters, (CN.C.)why is (B)it so (CN.C.)hard to (C#m)say?

If (E)all it is is eight (A)let ters, (CN.C.)why am (B)I in (CN.C.)my own (C#m)way?

Why do I (Asus2)pull you close and (Bsus)then ask you for (C#m7)space?

If (E5)all it is is eight (Asus2)let ters, why is (Bsus)it so hard to (C#m)say?

Is n’t it a (A)maz ing how al most (B)ev ’ry line on our (C#m)hands a lign when your hand’s in mine?

It’s like I’m (A)whole a gain; is n’t (B)that a sign I should (C#m)speak my mind?

I’ve said those words be (Asus2)fore, but it (Bsus)was a lie.

And you de serve to (Asus2)hear them a (Bsus)thou sand times.

If all it is is eight Oh.

When I close my eyes, it’s you there in my mind when I close my eyes.

If all it is is eight (A)let ters, why is (B)it so hard to (C#m)say?

If all (E)it is is eight (A)let ters, why am (B)I in my own (C#m)way?

If (E)all it is is eight (B)let ters...

I close my eyes, it’s you there in my mind when I close my eyes.

If all it is is eight (CN.C.)let ters...
