Tom: F#m

A
I used to wait for the day
                  Dmaj7
My mind wouldn't ache

With the thought of being all by myself
A
Tempted to pull out of fate
              Dmaj7
Where I didn't say I wanted the arms of somebody else
A
You shook me out of my thoughts
                 Dmaj7
And left me with soft kisses

Where my bruises live


[Pre-Chorus 1]
A
Being alone

Doesn't seem so bad
   F#m                           E
Cause I know that you'll always have my hand
       Dmaj7
In the end


[Chorus 1]
D                          E
Yours is the kiss I've been waiting for
    A                              F#m
And eyes that are more than just a mirror
    D                  E
Everyday my body decays more and more
       A                        F#m
And my broken hearts long to be near her
       B7
I fell apart
      Bm7
On my own
      Bm                 E
Now I found a life I can call my home

A  Amaj7  Dmaj7  D x2

[Verse 2]
A
Down by the river I sat
                 D
And I emptied my lungs
A                                             D
Took my shoes off and stuck out my feet to go numb
A
Stopped on my way to pick a few flowers
D
Let out a cry and lost track of the hours
       A
Then woke up on my floor
     E
My clothes drenched in sweat
     F#m                     E
The sound of your cries, it's not left my head


[Pre-Chorus 2]
D
You're more than enough
Dm
Just hold yourself up


[Chorus 2]
D                                E
I was born in the wrong skin but when you hold me close
       A         F#m
All my pieces fit together
        D                           E
I could wonder where you been when I needed you most
           A                   F#m
But you're one step ahead with forever
               B7
I'll hold your heart
           Bm7
Though the phone
      Bm                      E        A F#m D Dm A
Cause yours is the life I can call my home
