(intro)    A     E     Bm   D(X2)
AMaybe it's been a liEttle too long
F#mholdin' it in, tDrying to be strong.
AFunny the things we bEottle up
Come stF#mreaming out when you feDel enough.
BmThere is a trust the caEutious will lack
Bmand now that we've touched there's Eno holding back.
CHORUS
I want to cAall out for loEve 'til I cBman't breathe.D  
I want to sAtare at the trEuth 'til I cBman't see.D  
I want to pAour out my sEoul 'til I'm eBmmpty, eDmpty
A  E  Bm  D    A  E  Bm  D
Verse 2
When only flesh and bone remain
I'll hold you close then start again.
Feeling nothing but a sweet release
then the ghosts are gone from inside of me.
I've tried to fight it but what can I do?
There's something deeper that surrenders to you
CHORUS
Bridge:
When I F#mtouch you, when I C#mhear you
how cDan I doubt when every time I'm neAar yEou
CHORUS
