With nothing to lose
    Fm                                 F#   G#
You raise your voice with something to prove
    Fm                        F# G#
And all the things you say to me
           Fm    F#
I can't forget them

You don't leave
        Fm                              F#  G# Fm
But you tell me with your eyes what you need
     F#   G#
Oh, please
        Fm                              F#   G#
Do you think that I don't know what it means?
Fm                          F# G# Fm      F#
All the things you hide for me, I accept them
D#m            G#
But I need you next to me

Chorus:
   F#
If I can't hold you now
                       A#m
Keep thinking that you might not come around
          C#               D#m       F#
I have no words, I have no words to say
   F#
If I can't change your mind
                   A#m
Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye?
            C#                D#m     F#
You say it first, you say it first to me

You're in the clear
While I'm waking up to nothing but tears
And you stay the same
Like I'm the only one that needed to change

You know the things you said to me
Do you regret them?
I just need you next to me

Chorus
    A#m                C#               G# F#
So I   can just forget you, just forget you
A#m              C#               G# D#m Fm
Can just forget you, just forget you

Chorus:
And If I can't hold you now
Keep thinking how you might not come around
And I have no words
I have no words to say
If I can't change your mind
Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye?
You say it first, you say it first to me

If I can't hold you now
(If I can't hold you now)
Keep thinking that you might not come around
(Might not come around)
I have no words
I have no words to say
If I can't change your mind
(If I can't change your mind)
Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye?
(Our last goodbye)
You say it first
You say it first to me
