Intro Dsus Em7 A7sus4 Em7 x2
Dsus Em7 A7sus4 Em7
Sad times go slow well that’s understood
Dsus Em7 A7sus4 Em7
When you’re gone I slow right down to still
Dsus Em7 A7sus4 Em7
Is it real, is it love or ecstasy
Dsus Em7 A7sus4 Em7
Only with you my veins begin to fill
Dsus Em7 A7sus4 Em7
If we run now we’re going to learn today
Dsus Em7 A7sus4 Em7
We can live beyond what we’ve seen and done
Dsus Em7 A7sus4 Em7
So lock onto your targets and fire at will
Dsus Em7 A7sus4 A7sus4
We’re going to blow this town out now and run
G D/F# Em D/F#
But without you here it wouldn’t be the same
G D/F# Em lift off finger on the A string and hammer once.
All my worlds come crashing in
G D/F# Em D/F#
And without you here I couldn’t play this game
G D/F# Em Em
I’d be falling down in a spin

Dsus Em7 A7sus4 A7sus4
But we only learn this the day a life is gone
G D/F# Em D/F#
But without you here it wouldn’t be the same

All my worlds come crashing in
G D/F# Em D/F#
And without you here I couldn’t play this game

I’d be falling down in a spin

All the roads we’re on now will only lead us blind

Open up hope and chase our destinies
Dsus Em7 A7sus4 A7sus4
I swear to you now you’ll never look behind
G D/F# Em D/F#
But without you here it wouldn’t be the same
G D/F# Em
All my worlds come crashing in
G D/F# Em D/F#
And without you here I couldn’t play this game
G D/F# Em Em
I’d be falling down in a spin
G D/F# Em D/F#
But without you here it wouldn’t be the same
G D/F# Em
All my worlds come crashing in
G D/F# Em D/F#
And without you here I couldn’t play this game
G D/F# Em D/F#
There’s no point ‘cause there’d be nothing for me to win
