[Verse 1]

Looking back at the beginning of this

And how life was

Just you and me loving all of our friends

Living life like an ocean

But now the current's only pulling me down

It's getting harder to breathe

It won't be too long and I'll be going under

Can you save me from this?

[Chorus]

Am G F C

'Cause it's not my time, I'm not going

There's a fear in me, it's not showing

Am G F

This could be the end of me

C G

And everything I know

F Am

Ooh, but I won't go

[Verse 2]

I look ahead to all the plans that we made

And the dreams that we had

I'm in a world that tries to take 'em away

Oh, but I'm taking them back

F Am

'Cause all this time I've just been too blind to understand

What should matter to me

My friend this life we live, it's not what we have

It's what we believe in

[Chorus]

Am G F C

It's not my time, I'm not going

There's a fear in me, it's not showing

Am G F

This could be the end of me

C G

And everything I know

Am G F C

But it's not my time, I'm not going

There's a will in me and now I know that

Am G F

This could be the end of me

C G

And everything I know

F C G

Ooh, but I won't go

F C G

I won't go

[Bridge]

F C G

There might be more than you believe

(There might be more than you believe)

C G

There might be more than you can see

[Chorus]

F C

N.C.

But it's not my time, I'm not going

There's a fear in me, it's not showing

Am G F

This could be the end of me

C G

And everything I know

Am G F C

But it's not my time, I'm not going

There's a will in me and now it's gonna show

Am G F

This could be the end of me

C G

And everything I know, oh

[Tag]

F C G

There might be more than you believe

(There might be more than you believe)

C G

There might be more than you can see

But I won't go

Am F

Oh no, I won't go down

Yeah
