[Verse 1]
N.c. Dsus4/F#
I build a house for love to grow
D/F# Em7
I was so young that it was hard to know
Cadd9 G/B
I'm as lost now as I was back then
Am7 Dsus4
Always make a mess of everything
G Dsus4/F#
It's about time that I face myself
D/F# Em7
All I do is bleed into someone else
Cadd9 G/B
Painting walls with all my secret tears
Am7 Dsus4
Filling rooms with all my hopes and fears
[Pre-Chorus]
G Dsus4/F# Em7
But oh my, oh my
D Cadd9
I'll never learn if I never leap
G/B Am7
I'll always yearn if I never speak
[Chorus]
G Dsus4/F# Cadd9
To be loved and love at the highest count
D/F# Em7 D6sus4 Cadd9
Means to lose all the things I can't live without
Cdim G D/F# Cadd9
Let it be known that I will choose to lose
D/F# Em7 D6sus2
It's a sacrifice but I can't live a lie
Cadd9 Cdim G D/F# Cadd9
Let it be known, let it be known that I tried
[Verse 2]
G Dsus4/F#
I'm so afraid but I'm open wide
D/F#
I'll be the one
Em7
to catch myself this time
Cadd9 G/B
Trying to learn to lean into it all
Am7 Dsus4
Ain't it funny how the mighty fall?
G Dsus4/F#
Looking back I don't regret a thing
D/F# Em7
Yeah, I took some bad turns that I am owning
Cadd9 G/B
I'll stand still and let the storm pass by
Am7 Dsus4
Keep my heart safe 'til the time feels right
[Pre-Chorus]
G Dsus4/F# Em7
But oh my, oh my
D Cadd9
I'll never learn if I never leap
G/B Am7
I'll always yearn if I never speak
[Chorus]
G Dsus4/F# Cadd9
To be loved and love at the highest count
D/F# Em7 D6sus4 Cadd9
Means to lose all the things I can't live without
Cdim G D/F# Cadd9
Let it be known that I will choose to lose
D/F# Em7 D6sus2
It's a sacrifice but I can't live a lie
[Bridge]
Cdim Em Ebaug
Let it be known that I cried for you
G A7
Even started lying to you
Am7 G/B
What a thing to do
Cadd9 Dsus4
All because I wanted
[Chorus]
G Dsus4/F# Cadd9
To be loved and love at the highest count
D/F# Em7 D6sus4 Cadd9
Means to lose all the things I can't live without
Cdim G D/F# Cadd9
Let it be known, known, known that I will choose, I will lose
D/F# Em7 D6sus2
It's a sacrifice but I can't live a lie
Cadd9
Let it be known
[Outro]
Cdim G D/F# Cadd9
Let it be known that I tri-------ed,
D/F# Em7 D6sus2 Cadd9
that I tri----------ed
Cdim N.c. G
Let it be known that I tried
