Bm          D
Paradise, sleepin' in all the bright white snow
G                               A
I’m alive, this could be it for all we know
Bm           D
I'm a mess, don't know what I would do without you
G                                  A
I could cry, leadin’ you down the same old road

Bm
I just never see it comin'
          D                                              G
Only the butterflies until the bullets flying 'round my head again
Bm                                     D
Sick of runnin' in a circle, all the storm I catch,
                            G
I'm tired of medicatin' the adrenaline

Chorus:
           D                   Em
Under this avalanche with you, avalanche with you
   G
I feel the world collapsin' down
          Bm                          F#m          A   D
But after all that I've been through, long as I’m with you
G
Nobody can hurt me now
            D                       Em
It’s been breakin' me, breakin’ me down to the bone
     G
You savin' me, say to me, I'm not alone
        Bm                  F#m        A    D
In this avalanche with you, avalanche with you
 G
Nobody can hurt us now, no

You and I, maybe we'll disappear like ghosts
Intertwined, in a couple of years they'll write our stone
Here lies a lucky man who was losing all hope
In real life, and a beautiful soul who never let go

I just never see the warning
Only butterflies until the bullets
fly around my head again, oh, oh-oh, oh
Sick of running in a circle, all the stomach aches
I'm tired of medicating the adrenaline

Chorus:
Under this avalanche with you, avalanche with you
I feel the world collapsin' down
But after all that I’ve been through, long as I’m with you
Nobody can hurt me now
It's been breaking me, breaking me down to the bone
You saving me, say to me, I’m not alone
In this avalanche with you, avalanche with you
Nobody can hurt us now, no

A
Think of all the wasted nights
Em                D
Think of all the tears you cried
G
Because of me, because of us
Bm         D
Ash to ash, dust to dust
A
I don't wanna waste more time
Em              D
We will make it out alive
 G
Hold my hand,
       D
I'll sleep forever

Chorus:
Under this avalanche with you, avalanche with you
I feel the world collapsing down
But after all that I've been through
(All that I've been through),
long as I'm with you (All that I've been through)
Nobody can hurt me now (Now, oh)
It's been breaking me, breaking me down to the bone
You saving me, say to me, I'm not alone
In this avalanche with you, avalanche with you
Nobody can hurt us now, no
