I know you know I know that there's something that's worth holding on to
F                                                            Am           G
In spite of the burned out scene and the aging pains of the quiet little monsters
C
And you know I know you know that I feel the same, I feel just like you do
F                                                           Am         G
When I hear you say sometimes there's something pure about growing up lonesome

[Pre-Chorus]

Am
All my life I was
C
the quiet kind
        Am                    F       G
I just kept to myself and my dreaming
Am                  E
All my life I just tried to survive
         Am                 F   G
I'm not trying to shut you out

[Chorus]

C
And she says "I just wanna live,
          F
and if I get the chance, then I would wanna live again"
               Am
But I get this nightmare
G                         F    G
where you leave me on my own
C
All I want is to let you know
        F
but my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
            Am
And little nightmares
G                      F
keep telling me you'll go
G                      C
Keep telling me you'll go

[Verse 2]

C
I see you shake and shake and shake and shake and I wanna reach out now
F
Because there must be a brighter light there's a simple life
           Am         G
that gets past these breakdowns
C
And you know that I know you know that I crash the same in tiny little pieces
F
You gotta know that I'm on your side and there's something gold
       Am              G
about someone you can bleed on

[Pre-Chorus]

Am
All my life I was
C
the killing kind
       Am                      F      G
I was cool as the cold stormy weather
Am                  E
All my life I just tried to survive
         Am                 F   G
I'm not trying to shut you out

And she says "I just wanna live,

where you leave me on my own
C
All I want is to let you know
        F
but my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
            Am
And little nightmares
G                      F
keep telling me you'll go
G                      C
Keep telling me you'll go

[Bridge]

C
Don't you know
            G
there's an ocean of hope
      F
underneath the grey sky
              G
where you're dreaming
         C
And it's so hard to know
              E
which lonely hand you should hold
             Am                      F
But you can hold me until you don't want me
        C            G           F
We can cry together through the bad dreams
        C            G           F
We can cry together through the bad dreams
        C            G           F
We can cry together through the bad dreams
        C            G           F
We can cry together through the bad dreams
             E                     F       G
Through the nightmare that is the waiting and

Wild horses
