lyrics

In:
(Gm Bb F Gm)

V:
(Gm Bb F Bb F Gm Bb F)
You've let me down again,
But I don't mind,
But I don't mind,
I'm used to feeling low and I can harness in my pride.
But if you leave again,
Your love is blind,
And love is hard to find,
These sentimental words they echo through my mind.

Br:
(Gm)
I, I Love...

Ch:
(Gm Bb F Bb F)
(Gm Bb F Bb Am)
I'm breaking, I'm breaking, I'm breaking down now,
Without you I don't want to let go, let go now.
I love the way you make me, feel like the walls are starting to fall,
I love the way you make me, feel as though I've got nothing to hide.

M8:
((Gm Bb Gm Bb D# Bb D# Bb) F 2nd time)
You fought against the water,
As the current pulled you under,
As the rain falls down,
I can hear a sound.
Hands draw you nearer,
Trembling with fear,
As your feet touched ground,
A love was found.

Br2:
(Gm) (Optional: Gm Bb F)
I laugh at the stupid mistakes of our past,
At the breaks and the fractures this camera has captured,
All the miles we have travelled unravel before me,
Inform me that memories fade away fast,
And if you don't react you're gonna feel a blast,
A reactor explodes at your feet and imagine,
A passion so fierce that it pierces your core,
When your heart turns to tears could you take any more?
