C#                                       Fm
Every little part of me is holding on to every little piece you
                 F#
Is holding on to every drop of blood you drew
                C#
Is holding onto you
    C#
And every waking hour I spend
                Fm
Holding out for reasons not to go to bed
                    F#
I'm holding out for someone else to hold instead
                        C#
If every hope of you is dead

             A#m
'Cause every night since you cut and run
                               F#
I feel like the only one who's ever
been the lonely one
                                   C#
Trying to mend a heart that keeps breaking
                            G#
With every step that you're taking

Chorus:
       C#
'Cause you've been running circles 'round
   Fm
My mind, turning me inside out
      A#m
And I fell for you but hit the ground
           F#              G#
'Cause the only love I've known has let me
C#
Down and I need lifting up
     Fm
Now you ain't here I'm sleeping rough
        A#m
And I'm praying I can pray enough
   F#            G#               C#
So waking up without you aint so tough

Find it hard to find my feet
When I keep on stumbling over you and me
But I keep on trying 'cause I know I need
To outrun the memories

And every day I'm reminded of
The way I let it come undone
I feel like the lonely one, the only one with time worth wasting
Well, I still can't stop chasing

Chorus

Tough, oh, tough
So waking up without you

A#m
Say I
Thought I was talking to you
G#
Say I
                          F#
I guess I'm talking to myself
              D#m G#
Me and nobody else

Chorus
