F# A#7 You've gotta help me, I'm losing my mind, D#m C#m7 keep getting the feeling you want to leave this all behind. B G#m Thought we were going strong I thought we were holding on, F# Aren't we? No, they don't teach you this in school Now my heart's breaking and I don't know what to do Thought we were going strong Thought we were holding on Aren't we? Chorus: F# D#m You and me got a whole lot of history, G#m C# we could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen. F# D#m You and me got a whole lot of history, G#m F#/A# B C# so don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever. All of the rumours, all of the fights But we always find a way to make it out alive I thought we were going strong I thought we were holding on Aren't we? Chorus B Mini bars, expensive cars, F# C# B hotel rooms, and new tattoos, the good champagne and private planes, F# B But they don't mean anything 'cause the truth is out, D#m I realise that without you here life is just a lie. G#m This is not the end, this is not the end. C# We can make it you know it, you know. Chorus - x2 G#m F#/A# So don't let me go, so don't let me go. B C# We can live forever.
