[E] [B]
I [B] still [F#] talk to [E] you in [B] my sleep
I don't say much [F#] cause the hurt runs too deep
[E] Gave you [B] the moon [C#m] and the stars to [B] keep
[C#m] But you [B] gave [G#m] them back to me
[E] And here [B] I'm walking [C#m] up in, [B] getting good at [F#] [F#] [B] steep
[C#] [E] But I'm still [B]
looking [C#m] for a promise [B] even I [F#]
[E] [B] can't keep
[F#]
[B] I still lay on [E] my side [B] of the bed
I dance alone when [D#m] the [F#] last bottle's spent
[E] Memories like [C#] a river running through [B] my head
I [C#m] have [B] me an ocean [G#m] before I'm dead
[E] And here I'm [B] walking up [C#] in, [B] getting good [F#] at [A#] steep
[B]
[C#] [E] But I'm still looking for [C#] a promise [B] even I [F#] can't keep
[D#m] [F#]
[B] I still [A#m] whisper [B] sweet words to you
And when I'm busy [D#m] [F#] with nothing to do
[E] I pray [B] to God [C#m] that my words [B] ring true
And that's so the words might [G#m] reach me too
[E] And here [B] I'm walking [C#] up in, [B] getting good [F#] at [E] steep
[B] [C#]
[E] But I'm [B] still looking for a promise even I [F#] can't [D#m] [C#] keep

My heart's in pieces [E] so please [B] understand
I'm trying to jump but [F#] I've nowhere to land
[E] So give me your [B] heart and I'll [C#m] give you my hand
And try as goddamn [G#m]
hard as I can
[E] And [B] here I'm walking up [C#] in, [B] getting good [F#] at
