INTRO: Em, C, Em, C  
 EmA quick stare and a hit to the face
 EmA worn out smile and a warm embrace
 CThese thing just make everything go slow
 EmA sudden turn of my brown eyes
 EmAnd I'm blinded by your light
 C(Hold)
 We should just stick with what we know
 (And what I know is crying)
 EmTears fall
 EmDon't wait for the Ccountdown
 Just try to keep Gyour ground
 Cause you've Dgot a hold of my happiness
 EmDon't stop
 Just keep moving Cout now
 And I hope you're Gso proud
 Cause you're the Donly thing that I would've missed
                 Em   C(Break)
 But now you'll fall...
 ...with my EmtearsC  
 EmA signal and a secret code
 EmAnd you hope that nobody knows
 CYou're taking too many steps here
 EmI confront you but you throw me a bone
 EmIt makes me think I was always alone
 CMy feelings you won't consider
(And Emwhat I know is Dyou...)
CHORUS
 EmHopes and dreams
 And Emlies in between
 I'll Csave your life aGgainD  
 EmTwo, then three
 Are Emyou listening?
 I'll Cback oDff
Em, C  
 EmA quick shot into the head
 And Emnow I'm lying inside my bed
                 C   C(Hold)
 Drowning in my tears...

INTRO: , , ,

A quick stare and a hit to the face

A worn out smile and a warm embrace

These thing just make everything go slow

A sudden turn of my brown eyes

And I'm blinded by your light

(Hold)

We should just stick with what we know

(And what I know is crying)

Tears fall

Em C

Don't wait for the countdown

Just try to keep your ground

Cause you've got a hold of my happiness

Don't stop

Just keep moving out now

And I hope you're so proud

Cause you're the only thing that I would've missed

Em C

But now you'll fall...

...with my tears

A signal and a secret code

And you hope that nobody knows

You're taking too many steps here

I confront you but you throw me a bone

It makes me think I was always alone

My feelings you won't consider

(And what I know is you...)

CHORUS

Hopes and dreams

And lies in between

I'll save your life again

Are you listening?

I'll back off

Em C

A quick shot into the head

And now I'm lying inside my bed

C C

(Hold)

Drowning in my tears...
