B5 Ab5 D#5 C#5 B5 Ab5
D#5 C#5
[Verse 1]
When we were youngD#5 and indifferent
We could not have C#5known F#5
This world B5will chew you up and spit you G#5out on your ownF#5 C#5 D#5I know it hurts, it hurts me
F#5To just C#5to watch B5you sinking
I G#5can't help thinkC#5ing
[Pre-Chorus]
B5 What's there something holding you back?
D#5What's the weight of the world on your back?
C#5 So long, you're sick of the gravity?
B5 Is there someone telling you no?
D#5Do you wander with nowhere to go?
C#5 What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for?
[Chorus]
I'm B5reaching out please Ab5take my hand
The D#5water is getting higher and C#5I can't understand B5
Why I can't Ab5pull you in
Do you D#5even care, do C#5you even want me there? D#5
[Breakdown 1]
We are the victims
Just like our parents taught us to be
Roots planted firmly but we feel so far from the tree
And still we cling to the past with an iron grip
As we all fall fastD5 asleep
[Breakdown 2]
B5 Dreaming of security
The D#5chance to redefine
The years we wasted living on borrowed time
[Verse 2]
My D#5will is spent, I used the C#5very F#5last drop
B5Trying to keep my headG#5 on straightF#5 eC#5nough
D#5I know it hurts, it hurts to F#5feel it C#5all slip B5right past you
I G#5just want to askC#5 you
[Pre-Chorus]
B5 Was there something holding you back?
D#5Have you had to cover your tracks
C#5 So long, you lost your identity?
B5 Is there something dragging you down
D#5Crippled under the weight of the crown
C#5 What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for
What are you waiting for?
[Chorus]
I'm B5reaching out please Ab5take my hand
The D#5water is getting higher and C#5I can't understand B5
Why I can't Ab5pull you in
Do you D#5even care, do C#5you even want me there? B5
For all of our Ab5differences
I D#5always said I'd be there if C#5you should come undone B5
It took all I Ab5had in me
Do you D#5even care, do C#5you even want me there? B5
[Bridge 1]
D#5 C#5 (Do you even want me there?)
[Bridge 2]
B5 D#5 C#5 There are B5ghosts in every F#5window
And they'll D#5follow you back C#5home
But B5if you stay a F#5moment
I can D#5tell you all I C#5know
Of B5how these times have F#5changed us
How they D#5bring us to our C#5knees
How they B5send us down F#5the crooked path
DiD#5vide us tempoC#5rarily
[Interlude]
Reaching out please take my hand
The water is getting higher and I can't understand B5
[Chorus]
Why I can't Ab5pull you in
Do you D#5even care, do C#5you even want me there? B5
[Solo]
I swear I'm sorry, Ab5I swear I'll do better
D#5 I never thought we'd have C#5to carry this weight together
B5 This is contagion, Ab5a plague that I bear
And it D#5kills me to say that C#5I really needD#5 youC#5 here
[Outro]
B5
