[Intro]
G *
Break me off a piece of that
Em *
And mix it in with a little wine
G * Em *
With someone warm and smart I guess
G *
With a heart in first
Em *
And a soul behind
Em * C *
And IIIIII
G *
Won't give in
Em * C *
'Coz IIIIII
G *
Wanna try again
[Break]
G G C Em

G C G Em
[Verse 1]
G
There will be no years of silence
Em
In the shadow of regret
G
I won't let it so betray me
C
Though my soul got used to it
G
I will look at love as more than
Em
Just an instrument of pain
G
And will give myself completely
C
To the moving and the strange
[Pre-Chorus]
G D C G G
'Coz IIIIII wanna overcome
G Em C G G
And tryyyyy to love someone
[Verse 2]
G
I will not spend the years depleted
Em
Of my willingness to try
G
It won't hurt this way forever
C
It ain't worth the overtime
G
I'm not looking for redemption
Em
Nor some shallow kind of bliss
G
Lay me down and kiss me deeply
C
Show me everything I missed
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G G
IIIIIII haven't had enough
Em C G
And IIIII wanna love someone
[Break]
G G Em G C C
[Verse 3]
G
I will not hurt like this forever
Em
I'm responding the call
G
While there's speakers in the outfield
C
Blasting out my favourite song
G
I will not play this out discreetly
Em
It is real and unashamed
G
I am human now and terrified
C
But want it all the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G G
'Coz IIIIII wanna overcome
Em C G G
And tryyyy to love someone
[Chorus]

'Coz the heart

The heart is a muscle

[Verse 4]
G Em
I let bad love betray me once
G C
And i was barely outta high school then
G Em
And I guess I fear the same results
G C
That none will take me as I am
[Bridge]
G
I wanna be loved
C
I wanna be whole again
Em D
So tuck my hair behind my ears
G
And touch my soul again
Em
The window is wide
D Em
The post unfulfilled
C
And I just ask you to be patient
C
If you'll have me still
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G G
'Coz IIIIII wanna open up
Em C G G
And tryyyyy to love someone
