Intro (Picking)
G | Cadd9 D/F# | Em7 C G | Em7 C G


[Verse]

G                            Cadd9        D/F#
And I've been down this road before a thousand times
    Em7    Cadd9   G
And I realize
                         Cadd9         D/F#
Am I wasting my time, am I toeing the line
            Em7       Cadd9     G      Em7       Cadd9      G
Between the shadows I keep within, the shadows I keep within?


[Pre-Chorus]

    Em              Dadd4         G                    C
And I've been, I've been waiting, been waiting for the storms to drown me out
    Em              Dadd4        G            C
And my screams have been fading, been fading out to the sounds but
    Em          Dadd4      C
But you say you've got me


[Chorus]

G
And I said, I said, hold me dear
Dadd4                                          Em
And you said, you said, don't you forget about all I've done
                            C
I'll wear your heart like a keepsake
G
And I said, I said, hold me dear
Dadd4                                          Em
And you said, you said, listen to me, we've come this far
                          C                       G   Cadd9
And that's when you asked me to lay my guard down
D/F#                 Em7   Cadd9   G   Em7   Cadd9   G
To lay my guard down


[Verse]
G                            Cadd9             D/F#
And I've been down this road before a thousand times
    Em7    Cadd9   G
But I realize
                                  Cadd9         D/F#
Is it time that I give in to this state of mind
    Em7    Cadd9   G     Em7    Cadd9   G
Just to find my highs, justify my lies


[Pre-Chorus]

    Em              Dadd4         G                    C
Well I've been, I've been waiting, I've been waiting for the storms to drown me out
    Em              Dadd4        G                 C
And my screams have been fading, have been fading out to the sounds but
    Em          Dadd4      C
But you say you've got me


[Chorus]

G
And I said, I said, hold me dear
Dadd4                                          Em
And you said, you said, don't you forget about all I've done
                            C
I'll wear your heart like a keepsake
G
And I said, I said, hold me dear
Dadd4                                          Em
And you said, you said, listen to me, we've come this far
                    C
And that's when you asked me


[Bridge]

    Em               Dadd4             C
But Lord knows, well I've tried, but I need you now, I need you now
    Em               Dadd4             C
Lord knows, well I've tried, so hold me down, so hold me down


[Chorus]

(one stacatto strum)
G
And I said, I said, hold me dear
Dadd4                                          Em
And you said, you said, don't you forget about all I've done
                            C
I'll wear your heart like a keepsake
G
And I said, I said, hold me dear
Dadd4                                          Em
And you said, you said, listen to me, we've come this far
                    C                            G   Cadd9
And that's when you asked me to lay my guard down
D/F#                 Em7   Cadd9   G   Em7   Cadd9   G
To lay my guard down
