{Capo 1st fret}

Verse 1:
A

Em
Relationships—catastrophe
G

A
Wanting gets the best of me
G


D
A
Why can’t I just let go?
A

Em
I guess I thought he was the one
G

A
Turns out to be that I was wrong
G


D
A
So here I am on my knees
Em

Begging please…



Chorus:
A
Guard my heart let no one hurt it

G
It belongs to you ‘cause you deserve it
D
I was wrong
A
To go so long without you ‘cause
A
I need you more now than ever

G
And when I’m with you there’s nothing better




D
The pain is gone
A
You’re making me strong

Em
Making me strong


Verse 2:
A

Em
Foolishness; transparency
G


A
I’ve done my share of both of these
G



D
A
But now it’s time to see the truth
A

Em
Only you can set me free
G


A
Break the chains of misery
G
Open your arms

D
A

Em
And I’ll run to you who saves

[Chorus]

Bridge:
D

A
I fell fast and hard


Em
I couldn’t get up (I could not get up)
D
But you came
A
Extended your hand
Em
You lift me up

[Chorus: crescendo to forte]

[Bridge: quietly, slowly]

[Chorus: single strum per chord; slowly with intensity
