Cmaj7           G
Rip off the bandage of your past
And talk to me when you're alone
I know it's hard not to suffer when
There's no place you call home

Chorus:
Em       G
Sticking up for me
Em       G
Haven't talked in centuries
Em           G             Em                G
I know it's tough to understand that we're apart
For good

I want to know you better
than I did two years ago
Things could be easier,
I know that we both know

Chorus:
It's hard for me to forget you
It's hard for me to forget
It's hard for me to survive
It's hard to survive
