Verse 1CmBbEbAb
Got a hole in my head and my heart tonight
Eb
Well you shot me down, you just ain't right
Bb
Comes a time when you know you must let go
AbBb
I know, I know
Ab
We fixed it, but it's broken
CmBbEbAb
Got a feeling we gonna get this wrong
Bb
And even I can't be this strong
AbBb
It's a breath that you take right before you die
Ab
We lie and lie
Ab
Can't say we didn't try though
Pre-ChorusCmBbEb
So here we go
AbEb
Take my body, not my soul
AbEbBb
Took me high and left me low
Ab
I honestly never imagined we'd get this far
ChorusCm
There's a road that takes me home
AbEb
Take me fast or take me slow
Cm
Throw my head out the window
AbEb
Feel the wind, make me whole
Cm
Write my name up in the sky
AbEb
As we contemplate goodbye
CmCmAbEb
I don't know, we don't know, where we go
Verse 2CmBbEbAb
There's not a holy man or prayer in sight
Eb
There's not a priest around to read our rights
Bb
There's no magic ball to save our lives
AbBb
I know, I know
Ab
We've both always been broken
CmBbEbAb
But you had a way of making me forget
Eb
All the sadness rollin' 'round my head
Bb
Well, that was until I wished us dead
Ab
You had my heart
Ab
I wish you would have kept it
Pre-ChorusCmBbEb
This world we know
AbEb
It takes our bodies, not our souls

It takes us high and leaves us low

But they honestly never imagined we'd get this far

If just for one more night

You can hold me honestly

'Cause it's alright, it's alright
