I’ve been here

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

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

If I (G)risk it all

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.
