[Verse 1]
Em D G
Don't want to waste another day
Em D G
Don't want to let them fade away
Em D G
I don't know why I shut my mouth
Em D G
Don't want to live in fear and doubt
[Pre-Chorus]
C D C
All I am is based on who you are
D
I don't want to pretend
G D C D
I'll drown in another's arms
[Chorus]
C D
Every word in my mind
G D C
I'm dying to recite
D
Every word I want to say to you
C D
Every word in my mind
G D C
Don't ever come out right
D C D
And I can't turn inside out
G D C D
So I put you in a song
G D
So I can sing to you all night long
C D C D
But we'll forever live in my songs
'Cause I'm only brave when you're gone
[Verse 2]
Em D G
I'm losing sleep every night
Em D G
Still, I pretend to be alright
Em D G
I wonder if it's all planned out
Em D G
Or is it only wonder you're always on my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
C D C
All I am is based on who you are
D
I don't want to pretend
G D C D
I'll drown in another's arms
[Chorus]
C D
Every word in my mind
G D C
I'm dying to recite
D
Every word I want to say to you
C D
Every word in my mind
G D C
Don't ever come out right
D C D
And I can't turn inside out
[Bridge]
C D
And what if I am supposed to be with you?
C D
What if it is supposed to be us two?
C D
And what if I wait until I'm ready to tell you
C D
And I can't find you?
[Chorus]
C D
Every word in my mind
G D C
I'm dying to recite
D
Every word I want to say to you
C D
Every word in my mind
G D C
Don't ever come out right
D C D
And I can't turn inside out
G D C D
So I put you in a song
G D
So I can sing to you all night long
C D C D
But we'll forever live in my songs
'Cause I'm only brave when you're gone
