Intro x2 
Em Em C Am 
Em Em C Am 
 
verse 1 
Em                         C 
I could hold you so close and never let you in 
Em                           C                        Am 
I could feel you in my bones and never really feel a thing 
Em                              C           Am 
You can?t climb inside my soul and hold on forever 
Em                     C               Am 
I couldn?t change if I tried my mind?s as the weather 
C                                           Em 
Don?t know what I believe in, who I believe in anymore 
D                  G                                             Am 
I know that I?m broken, it?s the road that I?ve chosen to walk alone 
G                          Em 
I could hold you...I could hold you so close 
Em 
I could hold you so close and never let you in 
 
Em            C         Am               Em 
Alone among numbers, scream back at the thunder 
                    C                Am 
I learned from the start that all I had was me 
Em      C         Am             Em        C 
I am as one, the father and the son, I am one! 
 
verse 2: 
Em                                              C 
You couldn?t believe the fires that I?ve walked through the shit 
I?ve that overcome, I?ve never needed you 
Em                                           C 
Taught me from the beginning the only one to believe in is myself, 
                 Am 
so I left and became the wind 
Em 
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) 
C                  Am 
I can?t be left if I?m alone 
Em 
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) 
C                            Am 
I can?t be pulled down if I don?t hold on 
 
Em            C         Am               Em 
Alone among numbers, scream back at the thunder 
                    C                Am 
I learned from the start that all I had was me 
Em      C         Am             Em        C 
I am as one, the father and the son, I am one! 
 
Bridge 
C                 Em                       D       G  C 
I don?t need your love, I don?t want your love, I am one! 
C                              Em 
Again and again I repeat and explain am I fucking insane? 
               D 
It?s like the words coming out just don?t seem to sink in 
C     Em 
I am one! 
 
Em C 
 
Em            C         Am               Em 
Alone among numbers, scream back at the thunder 
                    C                Am 
I learned from the start that all I had was me 
Em      C         Am             Em        C 
I am as one, the father and the son, I am one!
