I really love this song and couldn't find the chords anywhere! 
Capo 2.
EmPast midnight,
Breathing in the dark.Am  
Same strange friend comes to visit...
CNever intend to open the door.Cadd9  
EmYou take it to places that no one's ever been,
AmYou let it,
You let it.
Your insides caving in.
CYou pushed and pulled, still wanting some more.Cadd9  
AmThis time I've gone all the way,
Am7Without you.
CThere's nothing more I can say.Cadd9  
EmSo maybe I took a little too much.
CMaybe life didn't want this part of me.
AmIf it helps to know,
I never let you go.C  
Sure, I lost my mind.Am  
But I never really meant to die.Em  
EmLast heartbeat's fading in the night,Am  
Only expected darkness.
CSurprised to wake and follow the light...Cadd9  
EmThe second you let it become a part of you,
AmYou'll never forget it, no matter what you do.
CYou lost it all, still wanting some more.Cadd9  
AmThis time I've gone all the way,
Am7Without you.
CThere's nothing more I can say.Cadd9

AmIt it helps to know,
I never let you go.C  
I'm sorry Amthat I lost my mind.Em  
EmSo baby, I took a little too much.
CMaybe you sucked the life right out of me.
AmI should have let you know,
I never meant to go.C  
Sure I lost my mind,Am

Capo 2.

Past midnight,

Breathing in the dark.

Same strange friend comes to visit...

C Cadd9

Never intend to open the door.

You take it to places that no one's ever been,

You let it,

You let it.

Your insides caving in.

C Cadd9

You pushed and pulled, still wanting some more.

This time I've gone all the way,

Am7

Without you.

C Cadd9

There's nothing more I can say.

So maybe I took a little too much.

Maybe life didn't want this part of me.

If it helps to know,

I never let you go.

Sure, I lost my mind.

But I never really meant to die.

Em Am

Last heartbeat's fading in the night,

Only expected darkness.

C Cadd9

Surprised to wake and follow the light...

The second you let it become a part of you,

You'll never forget it, no matter what you do.

C Cadd9

You lost it all, still wanting some more.

This time I've gone all the way,

Am7

Without you.

C Cadd9

There's nothing more I can say.

I'm sorry that I lost my mind.
