G
  We keep heading in the same direction
Cadd9
  You've become my own reflection
Em
  Is that your soul that you're trying to protect
Cadd9
  I always hoped that we would intersect, yeah

G
  You need time to cope and time to heal
Cadd9
  Time to cry if it's what you feel
Em
  Oh, life can hurt, when it gets too real
Cadd9
  I can hold you up when it's hard to deal

Cadd9
  Nobody knows when it's gonna stop, yeah
Em
  Before I'm gone I need to touch someone
       C/B
With a word, with a kiss, with a decent song yeah

G
  And it gets lonely when you live out loud
Cadd9
  When the truth that you seek isn't in this crowd
Em
  You better find your voice, better make it loud
           C/B
  We gotta burn that fire, or we'll just burn out
