Intro
F#m7 D F#m7 D F#m7 D A E
F#m7 D
Standing in this room
F#m7 D
Well I wonder what comes now.
F#m7 D
I know I have to help her
A E
But hell if I know how.
F#m7 D
And all the times that
I've been told
F#m7 D
The way her illness goes
F#m7
The truth of it
D/E A
Is no one really knows
G
And every day this act we act
D A
Gets more and more absurd...
G
And all my fears just side inside me,
D A
Screaming to be heard...
Bm
I know they won't, though
A G
Not a single word.
A
I was here
E
At her side
A
When she called,
D A
When she cried.
How could she
E D
Leave me on my own?
A
Will it work?
E
This cure?
A
There's no way
D
To be sure...
C#m7
But I'm weary to the bone.
F#m7 A7
And whenever she goes flying,
D C
I keep my feet right on the ground
G/B
Oh, now I need a lift
Am7
And there's no one around.
D Am6 D A
Dan & Gabe:
G
Hey, oh, oh, oh
A
Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh
Em
Ooh, ooh, no...
Dan:
G
And I've never had
To face the world
D A
Without her at my side...
G
Now I'm strolling
Right beside her
D A
As the black hole opens wide...
Bm7 A G
Mine is just a slower suicide.
A
I've been here
E
For the show,
A
Every high,
D A
Every low,
E
But it's the worst
D A
We've ever known...
A
She's been hurt
E
And how
A
But I can't
D
Give up now...
E D
'Cause I've never been alone...
E D
I could never be alone.
