C G Am F Oh, oh, oh, oh F Oh C Don't talk G Let me think it over Am How we gonna fix this? F How we gonna undo all the pain? C Tell me G Is it even worth it? Am Looking for a straight line F Taking back the time we can't replace Am All the crossed wires F Just making us tired Am G Is it too late to bring us back to life? F When I close my eyes and try to sleep C I fall apart Am I find it hard to breathe G You're the reason, the only reason F Even though my dizzy head is numb C Am I swear my heart is never giving up G You're the reason, the only reason C G Feel you burning under my skin Am I swear I see you shining F Brighter than the flame inside your eyes Am Bitter words spoken F Everything broken Am G It's never too late to bring it back to life F When I close my eyes and try to sleep C I fall apart Am I find it hard to breathe G You're the reason, the only reason F Even though my dizzy head is numb C Am I swear my heart is never giving up G You're the reason, the only reason F C Am G Oh, oh, oh, oh G Oh G You're the reason, the only reason F C Am G Oh, oh, oh, oh G Oh G You're the reason, the only reason C (let ring or play like verse one) Don't talk (G) Let me think it over (Am) How we gonna fix this? (F) How we gonna undo all the pain? F When I close my eyes and try to sleep C I fall apart Am I find it hard to breathe G You're the reason, the only reason F Even though my dizzy head is numb C Am I swear my heart is never giving up G You're the reason, the only reason F When I close my eyes and try to sleep C I fall apart Am I find it hard to breathe G You're the reason, the only reason F Even though my dizzy head is numb C Am I swear my heart is never giving up G You're the reason, the only reason F
