                E    B/D#
Gotta face the music
E                  A
These things I've done
           C#m B/D#
I can't forget
                        E      B/D#
I've come to win but I lose it
             E
Now look at me
          A              C#m B/D#
What you see is what you get
            A   E/G#  F#m7
You better take your heart
    C#m  E   B
Away   from me

Chorus:
           C#m               G#m
This is my love, helplessly fading
      A                           E
Doing everything I can to lose a little bit
   B/D#     C#m                G#m
Of myself tonight, hopelessly waiting
          A
For the storm to lead me home
              E          B/D#       C#m
'Cause I can never walk away from a fight
          G#m               A
All of my life, running on wild
          E
Trying to escape it
           C#m               G#m
This is my love, helplessly fading
        A
Always waiting
       C#m
Always waiting

I’ve come to say I’m sorry
(So sorry)
Far too many times to tell
It’s never like in the stories
(Oh, I tried)
But I could not catch you when you fell
If you give yourself
I’ll take everything you got

Chorus:
This is my love, helplessly fading
Doing everything I can to lose a little bit
Of myself tonight, hopelessly waiting
For the storm to lead me home
‘cuz I could never walk away from the fight
Trying to escape it
This is my love, helplessly fading
Always waiting
Always waiting

              F#m7
(Keep waiting keep, keep waiting)
             A               G#7
Living in a love song, yeah yeah
(Keep waiting keep, keep waiting)
               C#m
Will it be the right one?
              F#m7
(Keep waiting keep, keep waiting)
             A               G#7
Living in a love song, oooh oh

Chorus:
This is my love, helplessly fading
Doing everything I can to lose a little bit
Of myself tonight, hopelessly waiting
For the storm to lead me home
'Cause I can never walk away from a fight
All of my life, running on wild
Trying to escape it
This is my love, helplessly fading
Always waiting
