Intro: C-Am-C-Am
C Am
Love, I won't break your heart;
G Am (G)
It’s a long way down from here.
C Am
Every time you fall and break apart,
G Am (G)
I will pick you up again.
C G
With your head up high, would you try,
Am Em F
try to place your feet back on the ground.
G Am G
I’ve found that it’s easier to hide
C G
in the cold alone;
Am Em F G
an arrival since the day you fell apart.
Am G
Oh but honey I'm alive.
Repeat C-G-Am-Em-F-G-Am-G
C Am
Love, I won't break your heart,
G Am (G)
‘cause I’ve seen this all before.
C Am
You’re a fire that grows from just a spark,
G Am (G)
and then walks right out the door.
C G
With your head up high, would you try,
Am Em F
try to place your feet back on the ground.
G Am G
I’ve found that it’s easier to hide
C G
in the cold alone;
Am Em F G
an arrival since the day you fell apart.
Am G
Oh but honey I'm alive.
F G
Crying on the phone,
C Am
when you said you were alone.
F G
I am gonna stay,
C Am
though your friends have gone away.
F G
All the secrets that we have
C Am
only keep the worlds alive.
F G
But you've got something left to give,
C Am
if you'd only learn to live.
C G
With your head up high, would you try,
Am Em F
cause you’re the only one to pull me through.
G
Its true,
Am G
and it seems a waste of time
C G
to grow old alone.
Am Em F G
We’ve been dying since the day we fell apart.
Am G
Oh but honey I'm still alive. I’m still alive…
Repeat 2x C-G-Am-Em-F-G-Am-G
Ends on C
If you don't want to tune your guitar down, you can use a capo
on the 2nd fret and replace C with A, Am with F#m, G with E,
F with D, and Em with C#m, and that sounds okay too.
