[INTRO]
Ab Eb Bb Bb
[VERSE 1]
Eb
Well, you were burning up the sky
F Bb
Looking for a light when you saved me
Eb
I was convinced no one would take me
Bb
You turned and took me by the hand
Eb
But now that look in your eyes
F Bb
All of your sighs are saying "Go, please"
Eb
"Leave me alone and leave you lonely"
Bb
It looks as though we've reached the end
[CHORUS]
Ab
Well, I'm fine
Eb
I just need a moment
Ab Eb
I'm alright right here on the floor
Ab
Well, I'm fine
Eb
I just need a moment to cry
[VERSE 2]
Eb
And when I think about the ways
F Bb
That you never waste your breath to say you love me
Eb
How you always held your lost loves above me
Bb
As you kept your other hand on the door
Eb
Yet I'll admit I might miss
F Bb
Every scar and every wish that we'd make
Eb
But our wishes were nothing but ways
F Bb
To act as if we could use the change
[BRIDGE]
Ab
Well, maybe one of these days
Eb
We'll cross each other on a train to our new lives
Bb
We could talk about the old times
Ab
And how we're glad we made it out alive
Ab
But for now I'll sit and drink
Eb
As I think about the night that your father died
Bb
And I said I'd never leave your side
Ab
We once swore we could defeat this
Eb Bb
Therefore, please excuse this little bit of weakness, oh
[CHORUS]
Ab
Well, I'm fine
Eb Ab
I just need a moment of your time
Eb Bb
To get all my things and let go
Ab
Well, I’m fine
Cm Bb
I just need a moment to say goodbye
[BRIDGE]
Eb Ab
Well, Lord give me a reason
Eb Bb
C'mon, show me you love me
Eb Ab
I don't want to let it go
Eb Bb
Just to watch it fly
Eb Ab
And Lord, give me a moment
Eb Bb
Any of it, show me
Eb Ab
I don't want to feel it
Eb Bb
I don't wanna watch it go by
[CHORUS]
Ab
Because I'm fine
Eb
I just need a moment
Ab Eb Bb
I'm alright right here on the floor
Ab
Well, I'm fine
Cm Ab
I just need a moment to say I'm fine
Eb
I need a moment
Ab Eb Bb
I'm alright here on the floor
Ab
Well, I'm fine

I just need a mo-ment to cry
