Let the words out, yeah

Out as a crowd, yeah

Chorus:
C                  A#
Dear happy, don't go
                    F
Not there but I'm close
I just always thought id never win
C                 A#
Dear happy, you see
                  F
Its not easy for me

I'm somebody with a recovering heart
You've waited there for me
Keep waiting there for me

Its not easy for me
But I'm closer than I've ever been
