Now carrying these memories which pain me with a smile

I walk away from yesterday to our fated goodbye
Verse:
FF C majorC G+G A minorAm
If I were to go through life living just to take somebody else's place
FF C majorC E7E7 A minorAm
Then I would rather have been born as a pebble, living out my peaceful days

Then maybe we could then avoid misunderstandings too
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
And then maybe I would never have ever gotten to know you
G+G C majorC

As the world in front of me melts and fades away, I only have one thing to say:

These miracles flooding me won't make it go away

Because I can still hear your voice calling out my name

If you’re just going to get lost and never find a place where you belong

Deep in my heart I wished you’d let someone else do that, but I knew all along

I’m sure one day we’ll laugh again as the cycle then repeats
PPre-Chorus:
DmDm E minor 7Em7 FF C majorC
All that I can do is beg as hard as I can, but the nightmares keep on haunting me

Painting colours vivid and bright I see every time I go ahead and close my eyes
