Intro:

G C G

Verse 1:

G D/A

You can go, you can leave this town

Forget about the people and the places

And the faces that have let you down

You can hide; you can change your name

But the fear will always find you

If it’s coming from inside you

So you’ve gotta change

Pre-Chorus:

So if it’s the same to you, you could stay with me

D/A

I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams

Em C

And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you

Even when you feel so low like you might let go

I will be the first hand reaching out

I will be the last one giving up on you

I will be the first hand reaching out

C G

I will be the first, last, first, last and only one

Verse 2:

G D/A

If you leave, tell me where you'd go

Would you lock yourself inside a place

So no one had a chance to face you on your own

G D/A

‘Cause when we fall down, we can stay down

But the freedom that we wanna find

Is only found when we’re off the ground

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]
