Tom : D
Intro: D/A E/A A G/A D/A Dm/A A
A A5+/9
The hardest thing i've ever done is keep believing
D9/A G/A A
There's someone in this crazy world for me
D Dm
G9/7
The way that people come and go through temporary lives
A/E F#m Bm D/E E
My chance could come and i might never know
A A5+/9
I used to say "no promises, let's keep it simple"
D9/A G/A A
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
D
G#m/4(6+) C#7 F#m B7
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
Bm D A
The price i paid is high enough for me
D E/D C#m F#m
I know i need to be in love
Bm D/E A G/A
I know i've wasted too much time
D C# F#m7 B7
I know i ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
Bm D/E A
And fool enough to think that's what i'll find
( D/A E/A A )
A A5+/9
So here i am with pockets full of good intentions
D9/A G/A A
But none of them will comfort me tonight
D
G#m/4(6+) C#7 F#m B7
I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
Bm D/E A
I'm hanging on a hope but i'm all right
