1.) Like a Knife
Intro: E – B- C#m - A
I [C#m]dream a lot, I know you say
I’ve [A]got to get away
The [E]world is not yours for the taking
Is [B]all you ever say
I [C#m]know I’m not the best for you
But [A]promise that you’ll stay
Cause if I [E]watch you go
You’ll see me wasting
You’ll [B]see me wasting away
Chorus
‘Cause [E]today
You walked out of my [B]life
‘Cause [C#m]today
Your words felt like a [A]knife
C#m – A – E - B
I’m not living this life
[C#m]Goodbyes are meant for lonely people
[A]Standing in the rain
And no [E]matter where I go
It’s always [B]pouring all the same
These[C#m] streets are filled with memories
Both [A]perfect and in pain
And all I [E]wanna do is love you
But I’m the [B]only one to blame
(Chorus)
But what do [B]I know if you’re leaving
All you did was stop the bleeding
But these[C#m] scars will stay forever
These scars will stay forever
And these [B]words they have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
That we [A]held on to together
Try your hardest to remember
[E]Stay with me
Or [B]watch me bleed
I[C#m] need you just to [A]breathe
(Chorus)
End: E – B – C#m – A - E
2.) Fall For You
Verse 1
The [Am]best thing about tonight’s that we’re not [F]fighting
It couldn’t [C]be that we have been this way [G]before
I [Am]know you don’t think that I am [F]trying
I [C]know you’re wearing thin down to the [G]cor
But [F]hold your [G]breath
Chorus
Because [C]tonight will be the night that I will [Am]fall for you
Over [F]again
Don’t make me change my[G] mind
I won’t [C]live to see another day
I [Am]swear its true
Because a [F]girl like you is impossible to [G]find
You’re impossible to [Am][F][C]find[G]
Verse 2
[Am] This is not what I [F]intended
I always [C]swore to you that I would never fall [G]apart
[Am]You always thought that I was [F]stronger
I may have [C]failed
But I have loved you from the [G]start
Oh, But [F]hold your [G]breath
Chorus
Because [C]tonight will be the night that I will [Am]fall for you
Over [F]again
Don’t make me change my[G] mind
I won’t [C]live to see another day
I [Am]swear its true
Because a [F]girl like you is impossible to [G]find
It's impossible
Bridge
So [Am]breathe [F]in so [C]deep
[G]Breathe me [Am]in
I’m [F]yours to [C]keep
And [G]hold onto your [Am]words
‘Cause [F]talk is [C]cheap
And [G]remember me [F]tonight
When you’re asleep
Chorus
Because [C]tonight will be the night that I will [Am]fall for you
Over [F]again
Don’t make me change my[G] mind
Or I won’t [C]live to see another day
I [Am]swear its true
Because a [F]girl like you is impossible to [G]find
Chorus
[C]Tonight will be the night that I will [Am]fall for you
Over [F]again
Don’t make me change my[G] mind
I won’t [C]live to see another day
I [Am]swear it’s true
Because a [F]girl like you is impossible to [G]find
(C)
You’re impossible to find
3.) Maybe
Intro
[A]Didn't you want to [E]hear
the sound of all the [A7]places we could go
Do you [Ab]fear
the expressions on the [A]faces we don't know
[E]It's a cold hard road when you wake up
and I don't[Ab] think that I
Have the [A7]strength to let you [A]go
Chorus: E-Ab-A7-A
[E-Ab-A7-Ab-A]
Maybe it's [E]just me, Couldn't you [Ab]believe
that everything I [A7]said and did, wasn't just [A]deceiving
And the tear in your [E]eye, and your calm hard [Ab]face
makes me wish that [A7]I was never [Ab]brought into this [A]place
Verse2
There goes my[E] ring
It might as well have been [A7]shattered
and I'm here to [Ab]sing
about [A]the things that mattered
about the things [E]that made us feel alive for oh so long
[Ab]about the things that kept[A7] you on my side when I [A]was wrong
Chorus: E-Ab-A7-A
[E-Ab-A7-Ab-A]
Maybe it's [E]just me, Couldn't you [Ab]believe
that everything I [A7]said and did, wasn't just [A]deceiving
And the tear in your [E]eye, and your calm hard [Ab]face
makes me wish that [A7]I was never [Ab]brought into this [A]place
Bridge
And someday, [A7]I promise [Ab]I'll be [A]gone
And someday, [A7]I might [Ab]even sing this [A]song
To you, [A7]I might [Ab]even sing this [A]song, to you
and I [E]was crying alone [Ab]tonight
and I was wasting all of my[E] life just thinking of you
So[A7] just come back we'll make it [Ab]better
So Just come back [A]I'll make it
[A7]better than it [Ab]ever was x2[A]
Chorus: E-Ab-A7-A
[E-Ab-A7-Ab-A]
Maybe it's [E]just me, Couldn't you [Ab]believe
that everything I [A7]said and did, wasn't just [A]deceiving
And the tear in your [E]eye, and your calm hard [Ab]face
makes me wish that [A7]I was never [Ab]brought into this [A]place
Maybe it's [E]just me, Couldn't you [Ab]believe
that everything I [A7]said and did, wasn't just [A]deceiving
And the tear in your [E]eye, and your calm hard [Ab]face
makes me wish that [A7]I was never [Ab]brought into this [A]place
(end on) E
Maybe it's just me..
