Intro: D Em G A D Em G A D

Verse 1:
Never thought I'd [G]be in this pl[A]ace
It's someone else's l[Bm]ife I'm li[D]ving
Wish I were [Em]living a l[G]ie[A][D]
The hardest part is w[G]hen the bough b[A]reaks
Falling down and t[Bm]hen forgivi[D]ng
You didn't k[Em]iss me good-b[G]ye[A][Em]
I'm choking [G]on the words I d[A]idn't get to s[D]ay[G]
And pray I g[G]et the chance o[A]ne day

CHORUS:
[D]I still run[Em], I still swing [G]open the d[A]oor[D]
I still thin[Em]k you'll be t[G]here like befo[A]re[D]
Doesn't everybody [Em]out there
Know to n[G]ever come 'ro[A]und[Bm]
Some things a [Em]heart won't listen [G]to
I'm still h[A]olding out[D] for you [Em] yeah, ye[G]ah, ah[A][D]

Verse 2: (same chord progression as Verse 1)
I can hear you sm[G]ile in the d[A]ark
I can even [Bm]feel your breathi[D]ng
But daylight c[Em]hases the gh[G]osts (chases the g[A]hosts)[D]
I see your coat and [G]I fall ap[A]art
To those hints of [Bm]you I'm clingi[D]ng
Now's when[Em] I need them m[G]ost[A][Em]
I should get [G]up, dry my e[A]yes and move ah[D]ead[Em]
At least that's wha[G]t you would have s[A]aid Oh whoa oh

CHORUS:
[D]I still run[Em], I still swing [G]open the d[A]oor[D]
I still thin[Em]k you'll be t[G]here like befo[A]re[D]
Doesn't everybody [Em]out there
Know to n[G]ever come 'ro[A]und[Bm]
Some things a [Em]heart won't listen [G]to
I'm still h[A]olding out[D] for you[Em]

BRIDGE:
Fa[Em]ithfully, I trace your n[G]ame while you sleep
It's the o[C]nly true comfort I f[Am]eel [D] y[A]eah
[D]I still run[Em], I still swing [G]open the d[A]oor[D]
I still thin[Em]k you'll be t[G]here like befo[A]re[E]

CHORUS(key change):
I still ru[F#m]n, I still swing [A]open the d[B]oor[E]
I still thi[F#m]nk you'll be th[A]ere like befo[B]re[E]
Doesn't everybody [F#m]out there
Know to n[A]ever come 'ro[B]und[C#m]
Some things a h[F#m]eart won't listen [A]to
I'm still h[B]olding out
Out for y[E]ou [F#m] (H[A]olding o[B]ut)
Holding o[E]ut for [F#m]you[A][B][E]
