Verse 1:
C majorC       G+G
This place we live in
  E minorEm   D MajorD
Is all too dark
C majorC       G+G
For much too long
   E minorEm   D MajorD
I’ve been so lost

C majorC    G+G
Even before we met
E minorEm   D MajorD
I was missing this
C majorC          G+G
But now that you’re gone
E minorEm    D MajorD
How can I exist

Chorus:
C majorC        G+G      D MajorD    E minorEm
This darkness in our home, is all too suffocating
C majorC     G+G            D MajorD       E minorEm
Please don’t leave me here, you’re the light I’ve been awaiting
C majorC          G+G    D MajorD      E minorEm
I don’t know how to swim, to keep myself afloat
C majorC        G*     D*
I might as well drown without my lifeboat
C majorC G+G D MajorD  Em*
   Without my lifeboat (x3)

C majorC       G+G
What are you doin’
E minorEm       D MajorD
Why aren’t you here with me
C majorC        G+G
I’m lost and it’s dark out
  E minorEm      D MajorD
But you make me wanna believe

   C majorC         G+G
That somewhere there are candles
   E minorEm       D MajorD
That don’t ever blow out
C majorC       G+G
Please i’m beggin’
  E minorEm      D MajorD
All I can do is shout

Chorus:
C majorC        G+G      D MajorD    E minorEm
This darkness in our home, is all too suffocating

C majorC        G*     D*
I might as well drown without my lifeboat

   Without my lifeboat (x3)

Verse 3:
   C majorC          G+G
You tell yourself you’re nothing
     E minorEm       D MajorD
But what does that make me
  C majorC        G+G
I yearn for the days that you
  E minorEm   D MajorD
Finally see all of your beauty

C majorC          G+G
You tell me of your envy
  E minorEm           D MajorD
That you wish you could be me
   C majorC         G+G
Why would you want a downgrade
     E minorEm       D MajorD
When you have the whole world to see

Pre-Chorus:
D MajorD           G+G
I don’t know how you do it
   E minorEm       C majorC
Be so gorgeous all the time
 D MajorD       G+G
I never see you eating
   E minorEm            C majorC
Is it cause you think you’re not fine?

  D MajorD       G+G
The world has committed
    E minorEm      C majorC
Great crimes against you
  D MajorD       G+G
I wish I could fly
  E minorEm          D MajorD
Around the world to save you

Chorus:
C majorC        G+G      D MajorD    E minorEm
This darkness in our home, is all too suffocating
C majorC     G+G            D MajorD       E minorEm
Please don’t leave me here, you’re the light I’ve been awaiting
C majorC          G+G    D MajorD      E minorEm

I might as well drown without my lifeboat

   Without my lifeboat (x3)

Bridge:
D MajorD        E minorEm
When you finally see yourself
   C majorC       G+G
And get a glass of water
D MajorD       E minorEm
Will you leave me behind
       C majorC         G+G
Because you see how much I’m smaller
(repeat)

Chorus:
(single strum)
C majorC        G+G      D MajorD    E minorEm
This darkness in our home, is all too suffocating

Please don’t leave me here, you’re the light I’ve been awaiting

C majorC          G+G    D MajorD      E minorEm
I don’t know how to swim, to keep myself afloat
C majorC        G*     D*
I might as well drown without my lifeboat
C majorC G+G D MajorD  Em*
   Without my lifeboat (x3)
