F#m Enemy, used to be Part of you, bittersweet B But now you tell me lies D Up and down, cold and hot A Swear to God, got to stop E Because I can't sleep at night Bm If you wanted love like this D Blowing up with every kiss F#m E Should've known better Bm Because you find yourself alone D Chilling you right to the bone F#m E No, should've known better Chorus: D You and me just running towards the light A E F#m Giving up the fight, hoping we survive D You and me just strangers in the night A E F#m Giving up the fight, waiting to ignite D Holding on for life A Holding on for life E Holding on for life F#m Holding on for life D Holding on for life A Holding on for life E Holding on for life F#m Holding on for life Lost in you, lost in me Afraid of love, in too deep So we just run and hide Lightning fast, felt the crash Scared to lose, fear attacks We only know goodbye Chorus: You and me just Running towards the light Giving up the fight Hoping we survive You and me just Strangers in the night Giving up the fight Waiting to ignite Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life If you wanted love like this Blowing up with every kiss Should've known better Because you find yourself alone Chilling you right to the bone No, should've known better Bm D A Hopelessly holding on E To all those perfect nights Bm D F#m Let's pretend it's not gone A And say we'll never die Chorus: You and me just Running towards the light Giving up the fight Hoping we survive You and me just Strangers in the night Giving up the fight Waiting to ignite Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Holding on for life Hopelessly holding on To all those perfect nights Let's pretend it's not gone And say we'll never die Say we'll never die | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA D E F#m B Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
