                 C#m
There's no conversation
        G#m         A
There's nothing to say that'll take us back
         B         C#m
There's no way to change it
     G#m         A
No, we'll never salvage the plans we had
    B         C#m
But I can't explain it
   G#m           A
I can't let you go, will you hold my hand
    B           C#m
I know I look crazy, oh
     G#m       A
But give me a moment, I'll make it last

             C#m
Don't wanna go this alone, you're my everything
G#m               A
Yeah, you're the rush in my blood, my adrenaline
B              C#m
I still wanna fight, don't want us to die
                      G#m         A
'Cause to me, you're more than a memory

Chorus:
           C#m            G#m     A
Can we lay here? Tell me we can stay here
            B     C#m
Like we're gonna make it all
           G#m       A
the way through the night, whoa
 B      C#m               G#m          A
Can we lay here? Pray the walls won't cave in
        B        C#m                      G#m   A
But if we don't save it and don't make it out alive,
                          C#m G#m A
at least I'll be by your side
                  B       C#m G#m A
At least I'll be by your side

I know you feel helpless
But we'll never know if we never try
'Cause even if it all burns down and we drown
I need to know that I've still got you

Don't wanna go this alone, you're my everything
Yeah, you're the rush in my blood, my adrenaline
I still wanna fight, don't want us to die
'Cause to me, you're more than a memory

Chorus

A                                 B
I know it's getting so hard to breathe
          C#m
Whatever happens, keep hold of me
A                                     B      C#m
I don't believe that what's meant to be will be

So pull me in so close while
we both finally close our eyes (Our eyes)

Chorus:
Can we lay here? Tell me we can stay here
Like we're gonna make it (Make it)
all the way through the night, whoa
(Tell me, baby, can we—)
Can we lay here? Pray the walls won't cave in
But if we don't save it and don't make it out alive,
at least I'll be by your side
