   G#m
So many times I've thought about
  B                      F#            E
What my life would be without you, without you
            G#m
It would be easier I know
     B
But bein' all alone
             F#                E
What would I do, what would I do?

           C#m
Though you put me through it all
           C#m 
Pushed my back against the wall
  F#sus4  F#
I need you

Chorus:
       E                    B
And I can't give up on you now
          C#sus4
I've come too far to try
           C#
To get you out of my mind
   E                    B
I can't give up on you now
          C#sus4
You're my heart, you're my soul
      C#
And I won't let you go
  E              C#m                  G#m
I can't give up, can't give up on you now

How did we let our perfect world
Break apart in so many pieces
I can't believe it
We were living in a dream come true
Why did we let it slip right through our fingers
What did we do
But there's one thing I can't ignore
Knowing it's worth fighting for
I need you

Chorus

Though you put me through it all
Pushed my back against the wall
I need you

Chorus
