C#m        F#m  D
If I'm so happy
F#m             C#m        F#m  D A
How am I losing all this sleep?
   C#m          F#m   D
If I'm the only child
F#m                    C#m   F#m7  D  A
How do I feel like the black sheep?
    C#m            F#m7       D
If this is what we always wanted
F#m7             C#m F#m7 D A
How's the signal so weak?
C#m               F#m       D
If I'm loved unconditionally
F#m                  C#m   F#m7 D    A
How's this condition so unique, so unique?

E
But when you're with me
                    A       B
I feel like I'm embracing it
E/G#
And when you cry
                         A        F#m
I know that you've been saving me

Chorus:
           E
And if I'm insecure
D
How have I been so sure
         C#m
That I'm gonna care for you
A
'Til I am no more
           E
But if I'm insecure
 D
How have I been so sure
         C#m
That I'm gonna care for you
F#m
'Til I am no more

But if this life matters
How am I still wasting it? Hmm
If I'm an animal
Shouldn't I be embracing it? Hmm

When you're with me
I feel like I'm embracing it
And when you cry (When you cry)
I know that you've been saving it from me

Chorus:
And if I'm insecure
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
If I'm insecure
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
How have I been so sure
That I'm gonna care for you
'Til I am no more
