 Gsus4  Am      Fmaj7/AG
()                  
I'll sing it one last time for you
         Am    Fmaj7/A   Gsus4
Then we really have to go
                Am   Fmaj7/A         G
You've been the only thing that's right
            Am    Fmaj7/A    G
In all I've done
            Am    Fmaj7/A    G
And I can barely look at you
           Am     Fmaj7/A   G
But every single time I do
              Am     Fmaj7/A   G

           Am   Fmaj7/A   G
Away from here
[Chorus 1]

I'll be right beside you dear
[Chorus 2]

Louder, louder
              G
And we'll run for our lives

Why you can't raise your voice to say

()                       
To think I might not see those eyes
         Am      Fmaj7/A    G
Makes it so hard not to cry
          Am      Fmaj7/A      G
And as we say our long goodbyes
         Am   Fmaj7/A   G
I nearly do
[Chorus 3]
C
Light up, light up
           G
As if you have a choice

I'll be right beside you dear

Why you can't raise your voice to say
[Chorus 5]
C
Slower, slower
               G
We don't have time for that
                 Gsus4   Am
All I want's to find an easier way
                          F
To get out of our little heads
[Chorus 6]
C
Have heart my dear
               G
We're bound to be afraid
              Gsus4   Am
Even if it's just for a few days
                        F       G
Making up for all this mess
