E                           B
I can be tough, I can be strong
         C#m                        A
But with you, it's not like that at all
           E                  B
There's a girl that gives a shit
            C#m                        A
Behind this wall you just walk through it

And I remember
E
All those crazy things you said
     B
You left them running through my head
      C#m
You're always there, you're everywhere
 A
Right now I wish you were here

E
All those crazy things we did
 B
Didn't think about it, just went with it
       C#m
You're always there, you're everywhere
     A
But right now I wish you were here

Chorus:
E
Damn! Damn! Damn!
B                       C#m          A
What I'd do to have you here, here, here
(I wish you were here)
E
Damn! Damn! Damn!
B                       C#m          A
What I'd do to have you near, near, near
(I wish you were here)

I love the way you are
It's who I am, don't have to try hard
We always say, say it like it is
And the truth is that I really miss

All those crazy things you said
(Things you said)
You left them runnin' through my head
(Through my head)
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now, I wish you were here
All those crazy things we did
(Things we did)
Didn't think about it, just went with it
(Went with it)
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now, I wish you were here

Chorus

F#m                     E
No, I don't wanna let go
        B
I just wanna let you know
F#m                       E
That I, never wanna let go
     B
Let go oh oh
F#m                     E
No, I don't wanna let go
        B
I just wanna let you know
A                       G#m
That I, never wanna let go
     B     C#m
Let go oh oh

Chorus - x2
