Em
You knew that I would fall for, fell for you
C
Did you see the way I fought for you, changed for you?
Am
Never knew that love could be
D
this much pain and misery
Em
And you know that I would stick to you, die for you
C
And the ways that I relied on you, needed you
Am D
You used to see same in me.
Chorus
Em
Am I never gonna see you cry now
C
Am I never gonna ask you why, no
G
Am I never gonna hold you tight
D
when you’re on your knees
Em
They’re asleep and I am up all night
C
I see you every time I close my eyes
G
Oh I thought that you would wait for me,
D
Wait for me?
Em / C / Am / D
Now I see that I went blind for you, hide the truth
Built us up inside my head as like I always do
Panic hits when I wake up, you’ve already given up
Em
I’m walking faceless through the days
C
Since you’ve been gone I’m all a haze
Am
I am barely hanging on
B
Tell me where did I go wrong
Em / C / G / D
Am I never gonna see you cry now
Am I never gonna ask you why, no
Am I never gonna hold you tight
when you’re on your knees?
They’re asleep and I am up all night
I see you every time I close my eyes
Oh I thought that you would wait for me,
Wait for me.
Em C D
It is time to let this go
D
I’m done with this
Em
I am barely hanging on
C D
And they say walk on on your own
D
But it’s all wrong
(muted chorus)
Em / C / G / D
Am I never gonna see you cry now
Am I never gonna ask you why, no
Am I never gonna hold you tight
when you’re on your knees?
They’re asleep and I am up all night
I see you every time I close my eyes
Oh I thought that you would wait for me,
Wait for me.
Big last chorus
Em / C / G / D
(Backing Vocals in last chorus)
Wait for me
Don’t let us be
This tragedy
We’ve grown to be
You went so cold
I lost it all
This quiet war
don’t let us be
this tragedy
