[Intro]
 C   F   C   Am   G(x3)
[Verse 1]
CI know you know I know that there's something that's worth holding on to
FIn spite of the burned out scene and the aging pains of the qAmuiet little mGonsters
CAnd you know I know you know that I feel the same, I feel just like you do
FWhen I hear you say sometimes there's something pure about gAmrowing up lGonesome
[Pre-Chorus]
AmAll my life I was
Cthe quiet kind
I just kAmept to myself and my dFreamingG  
AmAll my life I just tEried to survive
I'm not tAmrying to shut you oFutG  
[Chorus]
CAnd she says "I just wanna live,
and if I gFet the chance, then I would wanna live again"
But I get this Amnightmare
Gwhere you leave me on my oFwnG  
CAll I want is to let you know
but my wFords get lost and haunt the back of my throat
And little nAmightmares
Gkeep telling me you'll Fgo
GKeep telling me you'll Cgo
[Interlude]
 C   F   C   Am   G(x2)
[Verse 2]
CI see you shake and shake and shake and shake and I wanna reach out now
FBecause there must be a brighter light there's a simple life
that gets pAmast these bGreakdowns
CAnd you know that I know you know that I crash the same in tiny little pieces
FYou gotta know that I'm on your side and there's something gold
about sAmomeone you can bGleed on
[Pre-Chorus]
AmAll my life I was
Cthe killing kind
I was cAmool as the cold stormy wFeatherG  
AmAll my life I just tEried to survive
I'm not tAmrying to shut you oFutG  
[Chorus]
CAnd she says "I just wanna live,
and if I gFet the chance, then I would wanna live again"
But I get this Amnightmare
Gwhere you leave me on my oFwnG  
CAll I want is to let you know
but my wFords get lost and haunt the back of my throat
And little nAmightmares
Gkeep telling me you'll Fgo
GKeep telling me you'll Cgo
[Interlude]
 C   F   C   Am   G(x2)
[Bridge]
CDon't you know
there's an oGcean of hope
undernFeath the grey sky
where you're dGreaming
And it's Cso hard to know
which lonely hEand you should hold
But you can hAmold me until you don't wFant me
We can cCry together tGhrough the bFad dreams
We can cCry together tGhrough the bFad dreams
We can cCry together tGhrough the bFad dreams
We can cCry together tGhrough the bFad dreams
Through the nEightmare that is the wFaiting aGnd
[Interlude]
C F Am G F G
[Chorus]
CShe says "I just wanna live,
and if we gFet the chance, then I would wanna live again"
But I get this nAmightmare
Gwhere you leave me on my oFwnG  
CAll I want is to let you know
but my wFords get lost and haunt the back of my throat
Wild hAmorses
Gcouldn't drag me aFway (from you bGaby), and
CShe says "I just wanna live,
and if we Fget the chance, then I would wanna live again"
But I get this nAmightmare
Gwhere you leave me on my oFwnG  
Where you leave me on my oCwnF  C  Am  G

C F C Am G

(x3)

[Verse 1]

I know you know I know that there's something that's worth holding on to

F Am G

In spite of the burned out scene and the aging pains of the quiet little monsters

I'm not trying to shut you out

[Chorus]

And she says "I just wanna live,

and if I get the chance, then I would wanna live again"

But I get this nightmare

G F G

where you leave me on my own

All I want is to let you know

Because there must be a brighter light there's a simple life

Am G

that gets past these breakdowns

And you know that I know you know that I crash the same in tiny little pieces

You gotta know that I'm on your side and there's something gold

Am G

about someone you can bleed on

[Pre-Chorus]

All my life I was

the killing kind

Am F G

I was cool as the cold stormy weather

Am E

All my life I just tried to survive

Am F G

I'm not trying to shut you out

[Chorus]

And she says "I just wanna live,

and if I get the chance, then I would wanna live again"

But I get this nightmare

[Interlude]

C F C Am G

(x2)

[Bridge]

Don't you know

there's an ocean of hope

underneath the grey sky

where you're dreaming

And it's so hard to know

which lonely hand you should hold

Am F

But you can hold me until you don't want me

C G F

We can cry together through the bad dreams

C G F

We can cry together through the bad dreams

C G F

We can cry together through the bad dreams

C G F

We can cry together through the bad dreams

E F G

Through the nightmare that is the waiting and

[Interlude]

C F Am G F G

[Chorus]

She says "I just wanna live,

and if we get the chance, then I would wanna live again"

But I get this nightmare

G F G

where you leave me on my own

All I want is to let you know

but my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat

Wild horses

G F G

couldn't drag me away (from you baby), and

She says "I just wanna live,

and if we get the chance, then I would wanna live again"

But I get this nightmare

G F G

where you leave me on my own

C F C Am G

Where you leave me on my own
