E   C#m  B   A

            E
Loving can hurt
           C#m
Loving can hurt sometimes
             B                       A
But it's the only thing that I know
              E
When it gets hard
                    C#m
You know it can get hard sometimes
          B                                A
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

C#m                      A
We keep this love in a photograph
E                        B
We make these memories for ourselves
          C#m
Where our eyes are never closing
     A
Our hearts were never broken
     E                     B
And times forever frozen still

Chorus:
            E
So you can keep me inside the pocket of your
 B
Ripped jeans holding me closer till our
C#m                            A
Eyes meet, you won't ever be alone
                     E
Wait for me to come home

            E
Loving can heal,
           C#m
loving can mend your soul
             B                            A
And it's the only thing that I know, know
                    E
I swear it will get easier,
                         C#m
Remember that with every piece of ya
             B
And it's the only thing
                         A
To take with us when we die

C#m                      A
We keep this love in a photograph
E                         B
We made these memories for ourselves
          C#m
Where our eyes are never closing
     A
Our hearts were never broken
     E                     B
And time's forever frozen, still

Chorus:
            E
So you can keep me
                           B
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
                           C#m
Holding me close until our eyes meet
                    A
You won't ever be alone
            E
And if you hurt me, that's okay, baby
      B
Only words bleed inside these pages,
          C#m
You just hold me
                          A
And I won't ever let you go
                     C#m
Wait for me to come home
                     A
Wait for me to come home
                     E
Wait for me to come home
                     B
Wait for me to come home

Chorus:
            E
Oh you can fit me,
Inside the necklace you got when you were
B
16 next to your heartbeat where I
 C#m                                 A
Should be, keep it deep within your soul.
            E
And if you hurt me that's okay baby only
 B
Words bleed inside these pages you just
C#m                               A
Hold me and I won't ever let you go.
           E
When I'm away I will remember how you
 B
Kissed me under the lamp
              C#m
Post back on sixth street
                                  A
Hearing you whisper through the phone,
                     E
Wait for me to come home.
