Moving in Gtime I try to find a EmplaceC

Got blood on my stringsC, writing these songs Gfor youEm  
But Dloving you from afar for so Clong, blood on my strings is Gnothing newC

Maybe I'm out of Gline but I need to tell Emyou nowC  
Believing that I'm Gfine ignoring all the why's and Emhow'sC

Giving a piece of us away
Now if Dyou only ever knew, Cwe could build a life Gtogether
I'd beg you to DstayC
