Lyrics

Car is parked,

bags are packed,

but what kind of heart does n’t look back?

At the com fort ’ble glow from the porch,

the one I will still call

yours.

All those words

came un done,

and now I’m not the on ly one

fac ing the ghosts that de cide if the (Csus4)fi re in side

still burns.

All I have,

all I need.

He’s the (F)air I would kill to breathe.

Holds my love

in his hands,

still I’m (F)search ing for some thing.

Out of breath, I am left hop ing some (Csus4)day I’ll breathe a gain,

I’ll breathe a gain.

O pen up

next

to you, and my se crets be come your truth.

And the dis tance be tween that was (Csus4)shel ter ing me comes in full

view.

Hang my (F5)head,

break my (Csus4)heart;

built from all I have torn

a part.

And my bur den to bear is a love I can’t car ry

an y more.

All I have,

all I need.

He’s the (F)air I would kill to breathe.

Holds my love

in his hands.

Still I’m (F)search ing for some thing.

Out of breath, I am left hop ing some (C5)day I’ll breathe a gain.

(Dbmaj13)Ooh,

it (Ab69)hurts to (Bbsus2)be here.

(Dbmaj13)Ah,

I (Ab69)on ly want (Bbsus2)ed love from you.

(Dbmaj13)Ah,

it (Ab69)hurts to (Bbsus2)be here.

(F)What am I (Bbsus2)gon na do?

All I have,

all I need.

He’s the (Fsus2)air I would kill to breathe.

Holds my love

in his hands.

Still I’m

search ing.

All I have,

all I need.

He’s the (F)air I would kill

to breathe.

Holds my love

in his hands,

and still I’m search ing for some thing.

Out of breath, I am left hop ing some (C5)day

I’ll breathe a gain,

I’ll breathe a gain,

I’ll breathe a gain,

I’ll breathe a gain,

I’ll breathe a gain,

I’ll breathe a gain.
