[INTRO]
Ab Eb Bb Bb
[VERSE 1]
 EbWell, you were burning up the sky
 Looking for a light when you Fsaved Bbme
 I was convinced no one would Ebtake me
 You turned and took me by the Bbhand
 EbBut now that look in your eyes
 All of your sighs are saying "FGo, Bbplease"
 "Leave me alone and leave you Eblonely"
 It looks as though we've reached the Bbend
[CHORUS]
 Well, I'm Abfine
 I just need a Ebmoment
 I'm alAbright right here on the Ebfloor
 Well, I'm Abfine
 I just need a Ebmoment to cry
[VERSE 2]
 EbAnd when I think about the ways
 That you never waste your breath to say you Flove Bbme
 How you always held your lost loves aEbbove me
 As you kept your other hand on the Bbdoor
 Yet I'll adEbmit I might miss
 Every scar and every wish that we'd FmakeBb  
 But our wishes were nothing but Ebways
 To act as if we Fcould use the Bbchange
[BRIDGE]
 Well, maybe Abone of these days
 We'll cross each other on a train to our Ebnew lives
 We could talk about the Bbold times
 And how we're glad we made it About alive
 But for Abnow I'll sit and drink
 As I think about the night that your Ebfather died
 And I said I'd never Bbleave your side 
 We once Abswore we could defeat this
 Therefore, Ebplease excuse this little bit of weakness, Bboh
[CHORUS]
 Well, I'm Abfine
 I just need a Ebmoment of your Abtime
 To get all my Ebthings and let Bbgo
 Well, I’m Abfine
 I just need a Cmmoment to say goodBbbye
[BRIDGE]
 Well, EbLord give me a Abreason
 EbC'mon, Bbshow me you love me
 EbI don't want to Ablet it go
 EbJust to watch it Bbfly
 And EbLord, give me a Abmoment
 EbAny Bbof it, show me
 EbI don't want to Abfeel it
 EbI don't wanna watch it go Bbby
[CHORUS]
 Because I'm Abfine
 I just need a Ebmoment
 I'm alAbright right here on the fEbloorBb  
 Well, I'm Abfine
 I just need a Cmmoment to say I'm Abfine
 I need a Ebmoment
 I'm alAbright here on the EbfloBbor
 Well, I'm Abfine
 I just need a Ebmo-Bbment to Ebcry

[INTRO]

Ab Eb Bb Bb

[VERSE 1]

Well, you were burning up the sky

F Bb

Looking for a light when you saved me

I was convinced no one would take me

You turned and took me by the hand

But now that look in your eyes

F Bb

All of your sighs are saying "Go, please"

"Leave me alone and leave you lonely"

It looks as though we've reached the end

[CHORUS]

Well, I'm fine

I just need a moment

Ab Eb

I'm alright right here on the floor

Well, I'm fine

I just need a moment to cry

[VERSE 2]

And when I think about the ways

F Bb

That you never waste your breath to say you love me

How you always held your lost loves above me

As you kept your other hand on the door

Yet I'll admit I might miss

F Bb

Every scar and every wish that we'd make

But our wishes were nothing but ways

F Bb

To act as if we could use the change

[BRIDGE]

Well, maybe one of these days

We'll cross each other on a train to our new lives

We could talk about the old times

And how we're glad we made it out alive

But for now I'll sit and drink

As I think about the night that your father died

And I said I'd never leave your side

We once swore we could defeat this

Eb Bb

Therefore, please excuse this little bit of weakness, oh

[CHORUS]

Well, I'm fine

Eb Ab

I just need a moment of your time

Eb Bb

To get all my things and let go

Well, I’m fine

Cm Bb

I just need a moment to say goodbye

[BRIDGE]

Eb Ab

Well, Lord give me a reason

Eb Bb

C'mon, show me you love me

Eb Ab

I don't want to let it go

Eb Bb

Just to watch it fly

Eb Ab

And Lord, give me a moment

Eb Bb

Any of it, show me

Eb Ab

I don't want to feel it

Eb Bb

I don't wanna watch it go by

[CHORUS]

Because I'm fine

I just need a moment

Ab Eb Bb

I'm alright right here on the floor

Well, I'm fine

Cm Ab

I just need a moment to say I'm fine

I need a moment

Ab Eb Bb

I'm alright here on the floor

Well, I'm fine

Eb Bb Eb

I just need a mo-ment to cry
