GI can feel that the stDorm is breaking possEm7ibilities Cadd9in the air
GYou helped to put the pDast behind me let's lEm7eave it thereCadd9  
You kGnow when I'm bruised and you hDeal and you soothe 
And you sEm7ave me from mCadd9yself
I'd loGve to know just hDow you do that
Em7How you read my Cadd9mind
That crGooked smile just gDets me every tEm7ime
The pain has gone away
GI breathe you iDn I breathe you Em7out
I've been cCadd9onfused and filled with doGubt
But now you're maDking it Ok Cadd9  
The pain has gone away
GThere's no more hDurt there's no more fEm7ear
There's only Cadd9love allowed inGside of hDere
Em7You're some kind of paCadd9inkiller baby
Now I can dream I'm not scared of waking
Thinking you will just disappear
You stopped the cynical part of me taking over here
You're strong when I'm weak and you're right when I'm wrong
When I lie you can always tell
I'd love to know just how you do it
How you blow my mind   
Those pretty eyes just get me every time
The pain has gone away
I breathe you in I breathe you out
I've been confused and filled with doubt
But now you're making it Ok
The pain has gone away
There's no more hurt there's no more fear
There's only love allowed inside of here
You're some kind of painkiller baby
Cadd9Twisting turning scDared this wouldn't happen
GPetrified but Em7now I'm so open Cadd9no turning Dback from here
GArms wide open Em7face the fearCadd9  D  
GI can feel that the stDorm is breaking possiEm7bilities Cadd9in the air
GYou helped to put the pDast behind me let's lEm7eave it thereCadd9
