Fm                      C#
I’m a dreamer but it’s hard to sleep when your head’s not in it
Fm                            C#
I’ve been restless ‘cause you disappeared and that’s all that’s missing
A#m           C#
The earth is loose under my shoes

There's an angel
And he's shaped like you, and I thought I knew him
There's a window
And it's dark inside, but the light was in it
This can't be love if it hurts so much
I need to let go

Chorus:
Fm        C#                D#         A#
I will survive and be the one who’s stronger
Fm         C#          D#      A#
I will not beg you to stay
Fm          C#                 D#      A#
I will move on and you should know I mean it
Fm          C#      D#  A#
Wild horses run in me

I remember
How we danced so close, I would stand on your feet
And the phone calls
That would last all night, they were lifeboats to me
Our fading scars just shooting stars
They're here, then go

Chorus

A#m        G#        D#                  Fm7
Our human hearts, forget how strong they are
C#           Fm              D#
And they get lost along the way, hey
A#m             G# D#           Fm7
It's not giving up, it's letting go
C#        Fm            D#
And moving to a better place

Chorus - x2
