Lyrics

I've been here (Abmaj7)before,

(Fm)but always hit the (Abmaj7)floor.

I've (Dbmaj7)spent a lifetime running, and I (Csus)always get away.

But with (Dbmaj7)you, I'm feeling something that (Csus)makes me want to (C)stay.

(Fm)A Unprepared for (Abmaj7)this;

(Fm)I never shoot to (Abmaj7)miss.

But I (Dbmaj7)feel like a storm is coming if I'm (Csus)gonna make it through the day.

And there's (Dbmaj7)no more use in running;

this is (Csus)something I've gotta (C)face.

(Fm)If (Eb)I (Ab)risk it all,

(Fm)could (Eb)you (Ab)break our (C7)fall?

How do I (Fm)live?

How do I (Eb6/9)breathe?

When you're not (Dbmaj7)here, I'm (Eb6/9)suffocating.

I wanna feel (Fm)love run through my (Eb6/9)blood.

Tell me, is (Dbmaj7)this where I give it all (Cm7)up?

For (Bbm7)you, I have to risk it (Cm7)all,

'cause the writing's on the (Fm)wall.

(Fm)A million shards of (Abmaj7)glass

(Fm)that haunt me from my (Abmaj7)past.

As the (Dbmaj7)stars begin storm to gather,

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

when all (Dbmaj7)hope begins to shatter,

know that (Csus)I thing will be (C)afraid.

(Fm)If (Eb)I (Ab)risk it all,

(Fm)could (Eb)you (Ab)break our (C7)fall?

How do I (Fm)live?

How do I (Eb6/9)breathe?

When you're not (Dbmaj7)here, I'm (Eb6/9)suffocating.

I wanna feel (Fm)love run through my (Eb6/9)blood.

Tell me, is (Dbmaj7)this where I give it all (Cm7)up?

For (Bbm7)you, I have to risk it (Cm7)all,

'cause the writing's on the (Fm)wall.

(Fm)wall. (Abmaj7)The writing's on the (Fm)wall.

(C)How do I (Fm)live?

How do I (Eb6/9)breathe?

When you're not (Dbmaj7)here, I'm (Eb6/9)suffocating.

I wanna feel (Fm)love run through my (Eb6/9)blood.

Tell me, is (Dbmaj7)this where I give it all (Eb6/9)up?

How do I (Fm)live?
