INTRO : C G F VERSE: C G F I found the pieces in my hand C G They were always there Am F It just took some time for me to understand C G F You gave me words I just can't say C G So if nothing else Am F I'll just hold on while you drift away BRIDGE: Dm F Cause everything you wanted me to hide Dm F G Is everything that makes me feel alive CHORUS: C G The cities grow the rivers flow F Where you are I'll never know C G F But I'm still here C G If you were right and I was wrong F Why are you the one who's gone C G F And I'm still here [NC] I'm still here VERSE : (Same pattern as above) You've seen the ashes in my heart You smile the widest when I cry inside and my insides blow apart I try to wear another face Just to make you proud Just to make you put me in my place BRIDGE:(Same pattern as above) But everything you wanted from me Is everything that I could never be (chorus) (Same pattern as above) Am G Maybe tonight it's gonna be alright F I will get better Am G Maybe today it's gonna be okay F G I will remember VERSE : (Same pattern as above) I held the pieces of my soul I was shattered And I wanted you to come and make me whole Then I saw you yesterday But you didn't notice You just walked away BRIDGE: (Same pattern as above) Cause everything you wanted me to hide Is everything that makes me feel alive (chorus) (Same pattern as above) C G The lights go out the bridges burn F Once you go you can't return C G F But I'm still here C G Remember how you used to say F I'd be the one to run away C G F But I'm still here C I'm still here
