[Intro]
C F C Am G (x3)
[Verse 1]
C
I know you know I know that there's something that's worth holding on to
F Am G
In spite of the burned out scene and the aging pains of the quiet little monsters
C
And you know I know you know that I feel the same, I feel just like you do
F Am G
When I hear you say sometimes there's something pure about growing up lonesome
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
All my life I was
C
the quiet kind
Am F G
I just kept to myself and my dreaming
Am E
All my life I just tried to survive
Am F G
I'm not trying to shut you out
[Chorus]
C
And she says "I just wanna live,
F
and if I get the chance, then I would wanna live again"
Am
But I get this nightmare
G F G
where you leave me on my own
C
All I want is to let you know
F
but my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
Am
And little nightmares
G F
keep telling me you'll go
G C
Keep telling me you'll go
[Interlude]
C F C Am G (x2)
[Verse 2]
C
I see you shake and shake and shake and shake and I wanna reach out now
F
Because there must be a brighter light there's a simple life
Am G
that gets past these breakdowns
C
And you know that I know you know that I crash the same in tiny little pieces
F
You gotta know that I'm on your side and there's something gold
Am G
about someone you can bleed on
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
All my life I was
C
the killing kind
Am F G
I was cool as the cold stormy weather
Am E
All my life I just tried to survive
Am F G
I'm not trying to shut you out
[Chorus]
C
And she says "I just wanna live,
F
and if I get the chance, then I would wanna live again"
Am
But I get this nightmare
G F G
where you leave me on my own
C
All I want is to let you know
F
but my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
Am
And little nightmares
G F
keep telling me you'll go
G C
Keep telling me you'll go
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
C
Don't you know
G
there's an ocean of hope
F
underneath the grey sky
G
where you're dreaming
C
And it's so hard to know
E
which lonely hand you should hold
Am F
But you can hold me until you don't want me
C G F
We can cry together through the bad dreams
C G F
We can cry together through the bad dreams
C G F
We can cry together through the bad dreams
C G F
We can cry together through the bad dreams
E F G
Through the nightmare that is the waiting and

[Chorus]
C
She says "I just wanna live,
F
and if we get the chance, then I would wanna live again"
Am
But I get this nightmare
G F G
where you leave me on my own
C
All I want is to let you know
F
but my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
Am
Wild horses
G F G
couldn't drag me away (from you baby), and
C
She says "I just wanna live,
F
and if we get the chance, then I would wanna live again"
Am
But I get this nightmare
G F G
where you leave me on my own
C F C Am G
Where you leave me on my own
