Intro: C (2x) 
 
Verse: 
 
C 
I promised I would be there, 
F 
I swear I'm on my way, 
Am 
I know you may not hear me, 
G 
But that's the price I'll pay. 
C 
For taking you for granted, 
F 
You're the air I breathe, 
Am 
I gave you everything but, 
G 
It was everything but me, 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
 
C 
And I don't know, how I would, 
    F                      Am 
Ever go, all alone walking on my own, 
                  G 
Like angels,   you were floating to me, and that's how it should be. 
 
 
 
                                  C 
`Cause I don't wanna waste another moment, 
                      F 
I don't wanna pay for things unspoken, 
                   Am 
I just wanna race with arms wide open, 
                             G 
Take a shot in the dark, to be where you are. 
 
                      C 
I don't wanna watch the world keep changin', 
                             F 
When I'm not with you my heart keeps shakin', 
                     Am 
Cover up my eyes and just stop pacin', 
                             G 
Take a shot in the dark, to be where are, 
                             C 
Take a shot in the dark. 
 
 
 
Verse:
 
C 
I promised you I'd reach you, 
F 
Is wear I'm almost there, 
Am 
As the road was disappearing, 
G 
You made it all so clear. 
 
Pre-Chorus:
 
C 
And I don't know, how I would, 
    F                      Am 
Ever go, all alone walking on my own, 
                  G 
Like angels,   you were floating, and that's how it should be. 
 
 
 
                                  C 
`Cause I don't wanna waste another moment, 
                      F 
I don't wanna pay for things unspoken, 
                    Am 
I just wanna race with arms wide open, 
                             G 
Take a shot in the dark, to be where you are. 
 
                      C 
I don't wanna watch the world keep changin', 
                             F 
When I'm not with you my heart keeps shakin', 
                     Am 
Cover up my eyes and just stop pacin', 
                             G 
Take a shot in the dark, to be where are. 
 
 
Bridge: 
                             C 
I promise you I'm gonna be there, 
 
I wanna be there, 
          F                     
No matter what happens, 
 
No matter how tragic. 
 
                    Am 
Because the clock is ticking, 
 
The world is spinning, 
G 
Our lives are passing us by---- 
 
 
 
                                  C 
`Cause I don't wanna waste another moment, 
                      F 
I don't wanna pay for things unspoken, 
                    Am 
I just wanna race with arms wide open, 
                             G 
Take a shot in the dark, to be where you are. 
 
                      C 
I don't wanna watch the world keep changin', 
                             F 
When I'm not with you my heart keeps shakin', 
                     Am 
Cover up my eyes and just stop pacin', 
                             G 
Take a shot in the dark, to be where are, 
                             C 
Take a shot in the dark.
