[Verse]
G             B
I want you to write it out.
          C                           D
I was the writing on the wall when you were laying down.
G             B
Oh what a joy, standing on the side.
          C                           D
I keep coming back here, keep living the lie.
C                   D
Kept hope in a fire, until it died.

[Chorus]
G           Em                  D
If I can't fight for the one I love, I'll be leaving.
G           Em                  D
If I can't fight for the one I love, I'll be leaving.
C                        D
And when you're feeling down and out

[Verse]
G
I'm not strong.
B
You're never coming back.
C                                D
And you would never love someone so hopeless.
G                     B
Now I'm a silhouette, floating in the mist.
C                         D
I'm hanging by your door, in the halls again.
C               D
Kept hope in a fire, until it died.

[Chorus]
G           Em                  D
If I can't fight for the one I love, I'll be leaving.
G           Em                  D
If I can't fight for the one I love, I'll be leaving.
C                                D
And when you're feeling down and out,

[Bridge]
Em
I want you to see me.
    D                  G
And I will swallow my doubt again.
Em
I want you to see me
    D                  G
And I will swallow my doubt again.
Em
I want you to see me
    D                  G
And I will swallow my doubt again.
C
I want you to see me
D
I want you to see me.

[Chorus]
G           Em                  D
If I can't fight for the one I love, I'll be leaving.
G           Em                  D
If I can't fight for the one I love, I'll be leaving.
C                                D
And when you're feeling down and out,
               G
I want you to see me.
