[Am] [C] [Em] [F] [Am] [C] [Em] [F]
[Am]Take your [C]eyes off of [Em]me so I can [F]leave
I’m [Am]far too [C]ashamed to do it [Em]with you watching [F]me
[Am]This is never [C]ending, we have [Em]been here [F]before
But [Am]I can’t stay this [C]time ’cause I don’t [Em]love you [F]anymore


Please, [Am]stay where you [C7]are
Don’t come [Em7]any [F]closer
Don’t [Am]try to change my [C7]mind
I’m being [Em7]cruel to be [F]kind


I can’t [F]love [G7]you in the [Am]dark [C]
It feels like we’re [F]oce[G7]ans a[Am]part[C]
There’s [F]so much space [G7]between us
Maybe we’re [Am]already [C]defeated
[F]Ehh.. [G7]Everything [Am]changed me [Em] [C]


[Am]You have given [C]me something that [Em]I cant live [F]without
You [Am]mustn’t [C]underestimate that [Em]when you are in [F]doubt
But [Am]I don’t want [C]to carry on [Em]like everything is [F]fine
The [Am]longer we [C]ignore it all the [Em]more that we will [F]fight


Please [Am]don’t fall [C7]apart
I can’t [Em7]face your breaking [F]heart
I’m [Am]trying to be [C7]brave
Stop [Em7]asking me to [F]stay


I can’t [F]love [G7]you in the [Am]dark [C]
It feels like we’re [F]oce[G7]ans a[Am]part[C]
There’s [F]so much space [G7]between us
Maybe we’re [Am]already [C]defeated
[F]Ehhh.. [G7]Everything [Am]changed me [Em] [C]


We are not the [F]only ones, I don’t [G7]regret a thing
Every [Em7]word I said, you know I’ll [Am]always mean
It is the [F]world to me, that you are [G7]in my life
But I [Am]want to live and not just survive


[F] [G7] [Am] [C] [F] [G7] [Am] [C]
That’s why I can’t [F]love [G7]you in the [Am]dark [C]
It feels like we’re [F]oce[G7]ans a[Am]part[C]
There’s [F]so much space [G7]between us
Maybe we’re [Am]already [C]defeated
‘Cause [F]eh[G7]hh..
Everything [Am]changed me [Em] [C]
And [F]I, [G7]I don’t think you can [Am]save me [Am]
