Dm                       A#maj7
 Sitting on the edge of another day
                      C6
Waiting on the sun to rise
                        Am              A#maj7 Dm
All I can hear are the thoughts you're thinking
               F         A#maj7
Making up with all of my enemies
                  C6
Memories I don't like
                            Am         A#maj7
I'm tired of the feeling of your heart breaking

Dm
You will live for me
C6
Helping me get through
A#maj7               C6
All my failures, my glories
I owe them all to you
Dm
You've been holding on
C6
For the both of us
A#maj7                 C6
You have always been strong
                        F
When I'm never strong enough

Chorus:
               C
My greatest mistake
                        Dm
Is that I never let it show
          C       A#
These feelings I feel
                     F
But God I hope you know
            C
How much I love you
                        Dm
I'm never gonna let you go
 F       A#
Let you go, hey

You picked me up
When I was down
When I was lost
You came and found me
You took the pieces of my heart
When they had all broken apart

You were there for me
Helping me get through
All my failures, my glories
I owe them all to you
You've been holding on
For the both of us
You have always been strong
When I'm never strong enough

Chorus

Dm                             Am
We've gotta keep on keeping together
          A#maj7   C6
It's just me and you ooooh
Dm                             Am
 We've gotta keep on keeping together
               A#maj7         C6
If we're gonna make it through  ooooh
F               C
My greatest mistake
                        Dm
Is that I never let it show
         C6      A#
These feelings I feel
                     F
But God I hope you know
            C
How much I love you
                        Dm
I'm never gonna let you go
C6      A#
Let you go


Chorus
