Am
I dream a lot, I know you say

I’ve got to get away

The world is not yours for the taking

Is all you ever say

But promise that you’ll stay
C
Cause if I watch you go
You’ll see me wasting
G
You’ll see me wasting away

C
‘Cause today

You walked out of my life

‘Cause today

Am
Goodbyes are meant for lonely people
F
Standing in the rain
C
And no matter where I go
G
It’s always pouring all the same
Am
These streets are filled with memories
F
Both perfect and in pain
C
And all I wanna do is love you
G
But I’m the only one to blame
(Chorus)
G
But what do I know if you’re leaving
All you did was stop the bleeding
Am
But these scars will stay forever
These scars will stay forever
G
And these words they have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
F
That we held on to together
Try your hardest to remember
C
Stay with me
G
Or watch me bleed
Am F
I need you just to breathe
(Chorus)
End: C – G – Am – F - C
