[Intro]
 Dm   C   Bb   Gm   Gm   C(x2)
[Verse 1]
DmI didn't want to be the one to forget
CI thought of everything I'd never regret
BbA little time with you is all that I get
GmThat's all I need 'cause it's all we can take
DmOne thing I never see the same when you're 'round
CI don't believe in him, his lips on the ground
BbI wanna take you to that place in the Roche
GmBut no one gives us any time anymore
DmHe asked me once, if I'd look in on his dog
CHe made an offer for it then he ran off
BbI've got this picture of these kids in my head
GmAnd all I hear is the last thing they said
[Pre Chorus]
Dm'I listened to your problems
DmNow listen to mine'
CI didn't want to anymore, oh oh ohh
[Chorus]
DmAnd we will never be alone CaBbgain
Cause it doesn't happen every dayGm  
Kinda counted on you being Gma frienCd
             (Riff)          Dm  
Can I give it up or give it away
Now I thought about Cwhat BbI want to say
But I never really know where tGmo go
So I chained mysGmelf to a fCriend
Some more agaiBbnC  
[Verse 2]
DmIt didn't matter what they wanted to see
CHe thought he saw someone that looked just like me
BbThe summer memory that just never dies
GmWe played too long and hard to give it no time
DmHe sees right through me, it's so easy with lies
CCracks in the road that I would try and disguise
BbHe runs his scissor at the seam in the wall
GmHe cannot break it down or else he would fall
[Pre Chorus]
Dm1,000 lonely stars
CHiding in the cold
BbTake it, oh I don't wanna Gmsing anymore
[Chorus]
DmAnd we will never be alone agaCinBb  
Cause it doesn't happen Gmevery day
Kinda counted on yoGmu being a Cfriend
 Riff                       Dm  
Can I give it up or give it away
Now I thought about whCat I wanna sBbay
But I never really know wherGme to go
So I chained myself Gmto a fCriend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a dooDmr
And we will never be Calone agaBbin
Cause it doesn't happen every dGmay
Kinda counted on you being a frienCd
Can I give it up or give it awDmay
Now I thought about what CI wanna sBbay

[Intro]

Dm C Bb Gm Gm C

(x2)

[Verse 1]

I didn't want to be the one to forget

I thought of everything I'd never regret

A little time with you is all that I get

That's all I need 'cause it's all we can take

One thing I never see the same when you're 'round

I don't believe in him, his lips on the ground

I wanna take you to that place in the Roche

But no one gives us any time anymore

He asked me once, if I'd look in on his dog

He made an offer for it then he ran off

I've got this picture of these kids in my head

And all I hear is the last thing they said

[Pre Chorus]

'I listened to your problems

Now listen to mine'

I didn't want to anymore, oh oh ohh

[Chorus]

Dm C Bb

And we will never be alone again

Cause it doesn't happen every day

Gm C

Kinda counted on you being a friend

(Riff)

Can I give it up or give it away

C Bb

Now I thought about what I want to say

But I never really know where to go

Gm C

So I chained myself to a friend

Bb C

Some more again

[Verse 2]

It didn't matter what they wanted to see

He thought he saw someone that looked just like me

The summer memory that just never dies

We played too long and hard to give it no time

He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies

Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise

He runs his scissor at the seam in the wall

He cannot break it down or else he would fall

[Pre Chorus]

1,000 lonely stars

Hiding in the cold

Bb Gm

Take it, oh I don't wanna sing anymore

[Chorus]

Dm C Bb

And we will never be alone again

Cause it doesn't happen every day

Gm C

Kinda counted on you being a friend

Riff

Can I give it up or give it away

C Bb

Now I thought about what I wanna say

But I never really know where to go

Gm C

So I chained myself to a friend

'Cause I know it unlocks like a door

C Bb

And we will never be alone again

Cause it doesn't happen every day

Kinda counted on you being a friend

Can I give it up or give it away

C Bb

Now I thought about what I wanna say

But I never really know where to go

So I chained myself to a friend

[Outro]

Dm C Bb Gm

I don't understand, I'm not safe

Gm C

Riff

When I'm with you

Dm C Bb

We’re swimming around,

Gm G C

Riff

That's all I do, when I'm with you
