E
I never thought that you would be
                   G#m
the one to hold my heart
E
But you came around and you knocked me
                        G#m
off the ground from the start

A            B            A
You put your arms around me
         B              E                  B      A
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
A                    B               E
You put your arms around me and I'm home

How many times will you let me change
my mind and turn around?
I can't decide if I'll let you save
my life or if I'll drown

Chorus:
C#m              B           E        A
I hope that you see right through my walls
C#m              B                   E        A
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
C#m         B       E            A
I'll never let our love get so close
A                   B                E
You put your arms around me and I'm home

The world is coming down on me and
I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but
I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

Chorus:
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

   C#m              B            G#m             A
I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
         C#m             B           G#m
And I've never opened up I've never truly loved
'Till
A            B            A
you put your arms around me
         B               E                 B      A
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

Chorus:
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me cause I'm already falling
I'll never let our love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
