Intro: G C Em D 
 
 
 G                    C 
I've been staring at the ceiling' 
 
     Em              D 
Watching the fan swirl around, around, around 
 
   G                  C 
Cause I can't hear my breathing' 
 
    Em                   D 
The words we said are still so loud, loud, loud' 
 
    Em            C 
And we been drifting off so far 
 
     Em             D 
That I don't even know where we are 
 
     Em             C 
Before we jump, Before we leap 
 
     Em              D 
And all is lost for you and me... 
 
    G            C         Em          D 
If we're not stupid we'll both hold on for dear love 
  
    G            C         Em          D 
Fight our way through this cause it's not worth just giving up 
 
    G            C         Em           D 
Cause I got some fight left in me, and I don't see us ending this way 
 
    G            C         Em           D 
If we're not stupid we'll both hold on for dear love, love 
 
(Repeat) 
 
I've weighted down by the silence 
 
All these words that don't come out 
 
I've been tempted just to write it 
 
And say I'm sorry without a sound, sound, sound 
 
That I don't even know where we are 
 
But we can try 
 
And we can speak 
 
Before we're lost indefinitely' 
 
 
If we're not stupid we'll both hold on for dear love 
 
Fight our way through this cause it's not worth just giving up 
 
Cause I got some fight left in me, and I don't see us ending this way 
 
If we're not stupid we'll both hold on for dear love, love 
 
 Em           C              G              D 
I've been terribly human' using you like a punching bag 
         
           Em                  C          G           D 
and you been terribly angry, taking out all your words, words on me 
 
       Em         C        G          D 
And I see what we were, and I know that we hurt,  
 
        Em          C        G          D 
but I know its worth it to fight for all our love tonight 
 
 
If we're not stupid we'll both hold on for dear love 
 
Fight our way through this, it's not worth just giving up 
 
Cause I got some fight left in me, and I dont see us ending this way 
 
If we're not stupid we'll both hold on for dear love, love 
 
  G  C  Em  D 
Love' 
 
  G  C  Em  D 
Love'.. 
 
  G  C  Em  D 
Love''. 
 
 
The End.
