[Intro]
F Am G
[Verse]
F
I know you don't believe it
Am
Like I believe it
G F
Oh no, it's not your fault
Am
You sit alone inside a room
G
Wait for the world to come to you
They never do
[Chorus]
C Am Em
It must be something that you can't let go
C Am G
It hurts that you won't let me know
Dm
Every time you want to
F
Any time I touch you
C G
I can't help to be myself
Em Dm
I hold on to this moment
F C
Any time is right to be alive
[Verse]
F
And then in conversation
Am
I love the way you mention
G F
Nothing's ever gone your way
Am
With a hammer in your hand
Em
You spell out a master plan
G
We never learn
[Chorus]
C Am Em
It must be somebody holding your heart
C Am G
Something that tears us apart
Dm
Every time you want to
F
Any time I touch you
C G
I can't help to be myself
Em D
I hold on to this moment
F G E
Any time is right to be alive
Am
And I don't think that it's right
Bb
To let love pass by
Dm F
Any time of life
C
It's good to be alive
[Instrumental]
