[Bb]Holding out all [C]my fears and faults
[Gm]Those that [D7]conquer me
[Eb]Started the [Cm]second pack
[F]Before the [Bb]first ones finishing
[Bb]I like to [D]bridge the gap between
[C]A break and [Gm]long lost lovers
[D7]Only to get me [Ebm]by until I decide
[Cm]I've had enough
[F]Most of [Bb]the time
[F]I can feel [Bb]them on me
[C]The eyes from [Bb]the stranger's window
[D]It's dark [C]and it's lonely
[D]But it's [C]nothing to me
[Gm]At least [D7]somebody's home
[Cm]Decades [F]are wasting
[Cm]On [F]your name
[Bb]You'll grasp the [C]concept of life
[Bb]When you give up [D]the point of trying
[C]If you don't do [Gm]the things that you do
[D7]They'll just [Ebm]happen to you
[F]Pulling out [Bb]all my weight
[C]And do my [Bb]part and you'll say
[D]"Oh I'm so glad [C]you're here with us today
[Gm]You probably thought [D7]you would be gone"
[Ebm]And until [Cm]there's another way
[F]I just [Bb]have to face
[F]That there's [Bb]no real place
[C]To go, and I [Bb]really could be alone
[C]I'd promise you now, [Gm]that if I had known
[D7]I wouldn't [Ebm]be standing here
[Cm]There's memories [F]to be made
[Bb]And water [C]that's to wade
[Bb]I used it [D]all up drying tears
[C]Of course [Gm]I don't regret
[D7]The moments [Ebm]where I wept
[Cm]And yearned for [F]what I've got now
[Bb]It's [C]only time
[Bb]It won't [C]age like wine
[Bb]But it's mine, and [D]I'll take the blow
