Capo: 7
[Intro]
C G Em D
[Verse 1]
C G
This place we live in
Em D
Is all too dark
C G
For much too long
Em D
I’ve been so lost
C G
Even before we met
Em D
I was missing this
C G
But now that you’re gone
Em D
How can I exist
[Chorus]
C G D Em
This darkness in our home, is all too suffocating
C G D Em
Please don’t leave me here, you’re the light I’ve been awaiting
C G D Em
I don’t know how to swim, to keep myself afloat
C G* D*
I might as well drown without my lifeboat
C G D Em*
Without my lifeboat (x3)
[Verse 2]
C G
What are you doin’
Em D
Why aren’t you here with me
C G
I’m lost and it’s dark out
Em D
But you make me wanna believe
C G
That somewhere there are candles
Em D
That don’t ever blow out
C G
Please i’m beggin’
Em D
All I can do is shout
[Chorus]
C G D Em
This darkness in our home, is all too suffocating
C G D Em
Please don’t leave me here, you’re the light I’ve been awaiting
C G D Em
I don’t know how to swim, to keep myself afloat
C G* D*
I might as well drown without my lifeboat
C G D Em*
Without my lifeboat (x3)
[Verse 3]
C G
You tell yourself you’re nothing
Em D
But what does that make me
C G
I yearn for the days that you
Em D
Finally see all of your beauty
C G
You tell me of your envy
Em D
That you wish you could be me
C G
Why would you want a downgrade
Em D
When you have the whole world to see
[Pre-Chorus]
D G
I don’t know how you do it
Em C
Be so gorgeous all the time
D G
I never see you eating
Em C
Is it cause you think you’re not fine?
D G
The world has committed
Em C
Great crimes against you
D G
I wish I could fly
Em D
Around the world to save you
[Chorus]
C G D Em
This darkness in our home, is all too suffocating
C G D Em
Please don’t leave me here, you’re the light I’ve been awaiting
C G D Em
I don’t know how to swim, to keep myself afloat
C G* D*
I might as well drown without my lifeboat
C G D Em*
Without my lifeboat (x3)
[Bridge]
D Em
When you finally see yourself
C G
And get a glass of water
D Em
Will you leave me behind
C G
Because you see how much I’m smaller
(repeat)
[Chorus]
(single strum)
C G D Em
This darkness in our home, is all too suffocating
C G D Em
Please don’t leave me here, you’re the light I’ve been awaiting
C G D Em
I don’t know how to swim, to keep myself afloat
C G* D*
I might as well drown without my lifeboat
C G D Em*
