        C#         D#m       F#
And I'd give up forever to touch you
         A#m           G#         F#
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
            C#         D#m         F#
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
      A#m           G#             F#
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

Chorus:
      A#m             G#      F#
And I don't want the world to see me
         A#m               G#           F#
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
     A#m           G#         F#
When everything's made to be broken
        A#m         G#        F#
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

Chorus - x2

I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
