[Intro]
G *Break me off a piece of that
                            Em *And mix it in with a little wine
     G *                       Em *With someone warm and smart I guess
       G *With a heart in first
             Em *And a soul behind

    Em * C *And IIIIII
           G *Won't give in
     Em * C *'Coz IIIIII
         G *Wanna try again

[Verse 1]
           GThere will be no years of silence
       EmIn the shadow of regret
        GI won't let it so betray me
          CThough my soul got used to it

       GI will look at love as more than
        EmJust an instrument of pain
         GAnd will give myself completely
       CTo the moving and the strange

[Pre-Chorus]
     G D C             G    G'Coz IIIIII  wanna overcome
    G Em C              G   GAnd tryyyyy to love someone

[Verse 2]
           GI will not spend the years depleted
      EmOf my willingness to try
         GIt won't hurt this way forever
         CIt ain't worth the overtime

        GI'm not looking for redemption
         EmNor some shallow kind of bliss
       GLay me down and kiss me deeply
        CShow me everything I missed

[Pre-Chorus]
Em  C                G       GIIIIIII haven't had enough
    Em C                 GAnd IIIII wanna love someone

[Verse 3]
           GI will not hurt like this forever
    EmI'm responding the call
              GWhile there's speakers in the outfield
         CBlasting out my favourite song

           GI will not play this out discreetly
      EmIt is real and unashamed
     GI am human now and terrified
    CBut want it all the same

[Pre-Chorus]
     Em  C            G       G'Coz IIIIII wanna overcome
    Em  C              G      GAnd tryyyy to love someone

  G                      EmI let bad love betray me once
          G                        CAnd i was barely outta high school then
      G                        EmAnd I guess I fear the same results
     G                      CThat none will take me as I am
