F Am/E Am G


🎸 Verse 1:
    F                  Am/E
Oh it’s gone too far and it hurts us both I know
    Am
So just say you won’t forget me
   G
Just say you won’t let go
    F                           Am/E
And the fire burns bright but I’m scared cause the wind still blows
       Am
You were the only thing in focus
       G
That’s why I lost sight long ago

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
   F
And I know I’m too enamored
    Am/E
By the flames that break me down
  Am
And I trust my desires
     G
But they run me to the ground
   F
This love is in my nature
   Am/E
Even though it makes me bleed
  Am
So even though you kill me
      G
You’re the one thing I still need


🎸 Chorus:
     F
So I will fly
                Am/E
If it means it would make you smile
      Am
And I will fall
            G
I’ll fall for miles and miles
     F
Oh who am I
               Am/E
But someone that you used to love
       Am              G
So even if I lost my wings to you I’d be alright
         F
Cause I’d be your Icarus


🎸 Verse 2:
       Am/E
And down and down I would fall below
   Am
To a place where all the memories
   G                     F
Fall from the sky like snow, ooooh aaaah oh oh ooh ooh
         Am/E
And who are we to set the river’s flow
     Am
If I was bound to be naive
       G
Then you’d be bound to let me go


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
   F
And I know I’m too enamored
    Am/E
By the flames that break me down
  Am
And I trust my desires
     G
But they run me to the ground

This love is in my nature
   Am/E
Even though it makes me bleed

So even though you kill me

You’re the one thing I still need
