VERSE 1

Bm 
Some 
 
 
F#m 
say 
 
 
Em 
I’ll be better without you, but they don’t know you like I do

Or at least the sides I thought I knew

Bm 
 
 
F#m 
can’t bear this time, it drags on as I lose my mind
Em 
Reminded by things I find, like notes and clothes you’ve left behind
Bm 
Wake 
 
 
F#m 
me up, wake me up when all is done
Em 
I won’t rise until this battle’s won, my dignity’s become undone

Em 
 
B 
ut 
 
 
F#m 
I  
Bm 
won’t 
 
 
F#m 
go, I can’t do it on my own
F#m 
If 
 
 
Em 
this ain’t love, then what is?

VERSE 2

Bm 
So 
 
 
F#m 
petrified, I’m so scared to step into this ride
Em 
What if I lose my heart and fail, declined

I won’t forgive me if I give up trying

Bm 
 
 
F#m 
heard his voice today, I didn’t know  
A 
single word he said
Em 
Not one resemblance to the man I met, just  
A 
vacant broken boy instead

CHORUS

 
Em 
 
B 
ut 
 
 
F#m 
I

Em 
this ain’t love, then what is?

I’m 
 
 
Bm 
willing to take the risk

BRIDGE

 
F#m 
 
Bm 
There will be times, we’ll try and give it up
G 
 
B 
ursting at the seams, no doubt
Em 
We’ll 
 
 
F#m 
almost fall apart, then burn to pieces
G 
So 
 
 
F# 
watch them turn to dust, but nothing will ever taint us

VERSE 3

Bm 
Will 
 
 
F#m 
he, will he still remember me?
Em 
Will he still love me even when he’s free?
Bm 
Or will he go back to the place where he will choose the poison over me?
F#m 
When 
 
 
Em 
we spoke yesterday, he said to hold my breath and sit and wait

I’ll be home so soon, I won’t be late
