Lyrics

I’ve been here

be (Gmaj7)fore

but al ways hit

the (Gmaj7)floor.

I’ve (C)spent a life time run ning and I (B)al ways get a way,

but with (C)you I’m feel ing some thing that (B)makes me want to stay.

A I’m pre pared

for (Gmaj7)this,

I nev er shoot

to (Gmaj7)miss.

But I (C)feel like a storm is com ing,

if I’m (B)gon na make it through the day

then there’s (C)no more use in run ning,

this is (B)some thing I got ta face.

If I (G)risk it all

could you break my (B7)fall?

How do I (Em)live?

How do I (D)breathe?

When you’re not (C)here I’m suf fo cat (D)ing.

I want to feel (Em)love run through my (D)blood, tell me is (C)this where I give it all (Bm)up?

For (Am7)you,

I have to risk it (B7)all

’cause the writ ing’s on the (Em)wall.

A mil lion shards

of (Gmaj7)glass

that haunt me from

my (Gmaj7)past.

As the (C)stars like be gin to ga ther

and the (B)light na be it gins to fade,

when all (C)hope be gins to shat ter

know that (B)I thing won’t be a fraid.

If I (G)risk it all

could you break my (B7)fall?

How do I (Em)live?

How do I (D)breathe?

When you’re not (C)here I’m suf fo cat (D)ing.

I want to feel (Em)love run through my (D)blood, tell me is (C)this where I give it all (Bm)up?

For (Am7)you,

I have to risk it (B7)all

’cause the writ ing’s on the (Em)wall.

(Em)wall.
