F                          A#sus2
I can hear you downstairs crying on the phone
F                                     A#sus2
Telling someone that I'm here but you still
feel all alone
F
Maybe we were too young
    A#sus2
Goodbye, I've gotta go
       F
I can hear the baby waking up
       A#sus2
Got to get back to the life I know

Gm                    A#sus2    F A#sus2
I should have never believed him
Gm                  A#sus2
Maybe I should just leave him

Chorus:
F                               Dm
Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left
to believe in
A#sus2
Don't give up on me
     D#sus2            A#sus2
I'm about to come alive
F
And I know that it's been hard
          Dm
And it's been a long time coming
A#sus2
Don't give up on me
      D#sus2          A#sus2
I'm about to come alive

No one thought I was good enough for you
Except for you
Don't let them be right
After all that we've been through
'Cause somewhere over that rainbow
There's a place for me
A place with you

Chorus

Gm
In every frame upon our wall
A#sus2
Lies a face that's seen it all
        F
Through ups and downs and then more downs
    A#sus2
We helped each other off of the ground
Gm
No one knows what we've been through
A#sus2                             F
Making it ain't making it without you

Chorus

I'm about to come alive
