Tom:
G Em
There must be something wrong with me, a certain flaw I cannot face.
C D
Cause I’ve been saving up for years, trying to move out of this place.
G Em
But all my money keeps on moving. Affording things I cannot see.
C D
To find a life within my music. Keep writing songs of you and me.
G Em
And she’s the cause of my distractions, and I’m so pleased to call her mine.
C D
But I’m fed up of waking on my own, fed up of eating here alone, fed up of wasting precious
G
time.
[Verse 2]
C D
But I know that we have more to see, more stress we have to fight.
G Em
I know the morning always comes with the evening close behind.
C D
Yet through every single day I know I get to hold you tight.
G Em
I’m scared we’ll miss our chance to live, you know I’m worried that we might.
C D
It’s eating me inside, it’s eating me inside.
C D
Maybe one day we’ll be fine.
Maybe one day we’ll be..
[Chorus 1]
G Em
All on our own, left here alone with what’s left of the best of the money held back.
C
Money once saved from the toil and the test oh the bargaining fear.
D
We won’t have enough to last us forever but maybe the year.
And that’s long enough cause we’ll both be together.
[Próxima Parte]
G Em
We’re all on our own, left here alone with what’s left of the best, the money held back.
C
Money once saved from the toil and the test, the bargaining fear.
D
We won’t have enough to last us forever but maybe the year.
And that’s long enough cause we’ll both be together.
C D
It’s eating me inside, it’s eating me inside.
G
Maybe one day we’ll be fine.
[Instrumental]
G Em C
D (x1)
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em
There must be something wrong. There must be something wrong with me.
C
There must be something wrong. There must be something wrong with me.
D
There must be something wrong with me. There must be something wrong.
G Em
One day we’ll all be fine, one day we’ll all be fine.
C
One day we’ll all be fine, one day we’ll all be fine.
D
One day we’ll all be fine, one day we’ll all be...
[Chorus 2]
G Em
All on our own, left here alone with what’s left of the best of the money held back.
C
Money once saved from the toil and the test oh the bargaining fear.
D
We won’t have enough to last us forever...
G Em
We’re all on our own, left here alone with what’s left of the best of the money held back.
[Próxima Parte]
C D
It’s eating me inside, oh, it’s eating me inside.
G
Maybe one day we’ll be fine.
