    [Intro]
 
|C5    |A5   |E5   |D5
|C5    |A5   |E5   |D5
 
[Verse 1]
 
C5           A5            E5
  It's not a one way conversation
       D5                C5
But we speak a different language
                A5              E5
Nothing's gonna change this situation
        D5               C     Am  D
What is done is just the damage
E5
Won't you stay around?
        D5             C5
I'll be out in the open
                  A5              E5
'Cause you're the light, I'm your shadow
          D5                C5
We're not lovers, we're not fighters
           A5           E5
You go on ahead, I will follow
              D5                 C       Am  D
Catch me in a beam, it's getting brighter
E5
Won't you stay around?
        D5              C5
I'll be lost in the open
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
Em                     Em
 Where do you run when nobody is calling?
Em                             Em
 Who's going to taste my tears when they're falling?
Em                     Em
 I don't know how much longer you can stay around
Em                         Em
 Stay in my line of sight, I feel you when you're not...
 
[Chorus]
 
   Em       D
...with me-e
              C
I can move my lips but they don't make a sound
                Em
When you're not with me
D                C
  Try to find my way back to solid ground (back to solid)
                Em
When you're not with me
D                C
  Talking to the walls, but they don't hear a sound
                Em       D   C  Am D
When you're not with me
 
[Verse 2]
 
C5                       A5
 Come back to where it began
E5          D5
Holding on, holding on
C5          A5             E5
  So are we losers, are we winning?
               D5             C5
You and me, we grew up fast together
           A5         E5
Is this an end or a beginning?
          D5               C      Am  D
You're my shelter from the weather
E5                         D5                    C    Am  D
Walls are falling down and the windows are broken
E5                               D5              Cmaj7/E*
Say I'll see you 'round when I'm lost in the open
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
Em                     Em               Cmaj7/E*
 Where do you run when nobody is calling?
Em                             Em                  Cmaj7/E*
 Who's going to taste my tears when they're falling?
Em                          Em               Cmaj7/E*
 I wanna hear you breathing in the dark night
Em                         Em
 Stay in my line of sight, I see you when you're not...
 
[Chorus]
 
   Em       D
...with me-e
             C
I can move my lips but they don't make a sound
                Em
When you're not with me
D                C
  Try to find my way back to solid ground (back to solid ground) 
                Em
When you're not with me
D                C
  Talking to the walls, but they don't hear a sound
                Em       D   C  Am D
When you're not with me
 
[Bridge]
 
C                      Am  D
 Would you allow me to try
E               D
Stop the clock, stop the clock?
C                     Am  D
 And make a moment between
E              D
Tick and tock, tick and tock
C                      Am  D
 Would you allow me to try
E               D
Stop the clock, stop the clock?
C                     Am  D
 And make a moment between
E              D
Tick and tock, tick and tock
 
[Outro]
 
|C    |Am  D
 
E                D                    C    Am D
I've got nothing when you're not with me
E              D                    C    Am D
I'm in trouble when you're not with me
Em               D                    C           Am       D
I've got nothing when you're not with me (papapapapaaa-papapapap)
 
E    D    C         Am       D
           (Papapapapaaa-papapapap)

            (Papapapapaaa-papapapap)

           (Papapapapaaa-papapapap)

           (Papapapapaaa-papapapap)
