A    D    G
One more step
             A    D     G
Just give me one more breath
           A    D  G
And we'll find our feet
              A    D   G
Just take a chance on me

Em          Bm            A
I'm always looking for an answer
Em     Bm                A
Never find the words to say

Chorus:
       G
Do you ever really feel like you're all alone
               Bm                             A
And you're surrounded by the people that you love the most
         G
And you can't explain it 'cause they won't understand
          Bm                        A
It's not simple feelings, it's the human demands
          G
And your heart starts beating when you hear that song
                 Bm               A
And you finally feel like you're not alone
         G                               Bm
And the weight is gone but we are moving on

Times get hard
But they help you move along
These thoughts in my head
I'm so scared of getting old

I'm always looking for an answer
And I know I'll find the way

Chorus:
Do you ever really feel like you're all alone
And you're surrounded by the people that you love the most
And you can't explain it 'cause they won't understand
It's not simple feelings, it's the human demands
And your heart starts beating when you hear that song
And you finally feel like you're not alone
And the weight is gone but we are moving on

Em           Bm    A       Em
Sometimes I cry myself to sleep
             Bm         A     Em
Sometimes I don't like how I feel
                Bm      A      Em
Sometimes your love is lost on me
             D
Sometimes I feel

Chorus:
Do you ever really feel like you're all alone
And you're surrounded by the people that you love the most
And you can't explain it 'cause they won't understand
It's not simple feelings, it's the human demands
And your heart starts beating when you hear that song
And you finally feel like you're not alone
And the weight is gone but we are moving on
We are moving on
