Intro: C G Dm F ( G )

C                                   G
The city of angles is lonely tonight
                                Dm
Keep myself alive by candle light
                                F
Say she can love you like I do
                                    C
Look me in the eyes and say it's true
                                 G
I ask myself, is this love at all
                                  Dm
When I need you most you let me fall
                                       F
I'm always here at the side of your stage
                                       Dm          F
Let you live your life and pretend I'm okay
         C
I'll be okay
     G
I'll hold you close we'll stay forever

C             G                         Dm
I don't understand why you're leaving me
              F                                C
I don't understand why without you I can't breathe
                             G
Please don't, don't leave me here
                               Dm
Take my hand and bleeding tears
                       F
I don't understand why you can't
             C
Take me with you

                             G
You can pretend I don't exist
                                         Dm
But you'll see my face every time you kiss

                                        F
I hope you hurt and your walls fall down
                                   Dm          F
When you hear the sound that I'm okay
        C
I'll be okay
          G
You can't hold me down, I won't stay forever

C            G                          Dm
I don't understand why you're leaving me
              F                              C
I don't understand why without you I can't breathe
                             G
Please don't, don't leave me here
                           Dm
Take my hand and bleeding tears
                       F
I don't understand why you can't take me with you

Dm             F
I watched you leave
            C
Walk away tonight
                 G                  Dm
And I'm letting go for the last time
                         F
And through the tears I say goodbye
   C                                   G
So breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe out

C             G                          Dm
I don't understand why you're leaving me
              F                               C
I don't understand why without you I can't breathe
                             G
Please don't, don't leave me here
                           Dm
Take my hand and bleeding tears
                        F                     C     G    Dm   F
I don't understand why you can't take me with you
