D# C# I'll be lost in the open F Where do you run when nobody is calling? Who's gonna taste my tears when they're falling?

Are we winning? You and me, we grew up fast together Is this an end or a beginning? You're my shelter from the weather Walls are falling down and the windows are broken Say I'll see you 'round when I'm lost in the open Where do you run when nobody is calling? Who's gonna taste my tears when they're falling? I wanna hear you breathing in the dark night Stay in my line of sight, I see you Chorus: When you're not with me I can move my lips, but they don't make a sound When you're not with me Try to find my way back to solid ground When you're not with me Talking to the walls, but they can't hear a sound When you're not with me C# A#m D# Would you allow me to try F D# Stop the clock, stop the clock? C# A#m D# And make a moment between F D# Tick and tock, tick and tock C# A#m D# Would you allow me to try F D# Stop the clock, stop the clock? C# A#m D# And make a moment between F D# Tick and tock, tick and tock I've got nothing when you're not with me I'm in trouble when you're not with me I've got nothing when you're not with me You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#m  C#  D#  F  Fm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
