[verse 1]
A                     C#m
I'm so tired of being here
A                        C#m
suppressed by all of my childish fears
A
and if you have to leave
  C#m
I wish that you could just leave
A
because your presence still lingers here
C#m
and it won't leave me alone

[pre-chorus]
F#m      C#m
   These wounds won't seem to heal
F#m      C#m
    this pain is just too real
F#m     C#m
there's just too much
     E
that time cannot erase

[chorus]
F#m      D         E
When you cried I'd wipe away
C#m
all of your tears
F#m        D          E
When you'd scream I'd fight away
C#m
all of your fears
F#m      D         E
And I've held your hand through
C#m
all of these years
F#m        D     E         A  C#m  A  C#m
but you still have all of me

[verse 2]
A
You used to captivate
    C#m
me by your resonating light
A
but now I'm bound by
    C#m
the life you left behind
A                        C#m
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
A                          C#m
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

[pre-chorus]
F#m      C#m
   These wounds won't seem to heal
F#m      C#m
    this pain is just too real
F#m     C#m
there's just too much that
E
time cannot erase

[chorus]
F#m      D         E
When you cried I'd wipe away
C#m
all of your tears
F#m        D          E
When you'd scream I'd fight away
C#m
all of your fears
F#m      D         E
And I've held your hand through
C#m
all of these years
F#m     D     E           D
but you still have all of me

[bridge]
             F#m            E
I've tried so hard to tell myself
           D
that you're gone
    Bm                   C#m
but though you're still with me
D          E
I've been alone all along

F#m      D         E
When you cried I'd wipe away
C#m
all of your tears
F#m        D          E
When you'd scream I'd fight away
C#m
all of your fears
F#m      D         E
And I've held your hand through
C#m
all of these years
F#m        D     E
but you still have all of
