         D        Em        G
And I'd give up forever to touch you
          Bm            A           G
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
             D         Em          G
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
       Bm            A             G
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I could taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later, it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

Chorus:
      Bm              A        G
And I don't want the world to see me
          Bm                A           G
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
     Bm            A           G
When everything's made to be broken
        Bm           A        G
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

Chorus - x2

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
