HOW TO PLAY

1Put your right thumb on middle C. Most beginner songs stay under five fingers — you never move your hand.
2Set the speed down and turn CLICK on. Press each key exactly when the note reaches the line.
3Loop the bar that keeps breaking until it feels easy, then add the left hand and take the speed back up.

LYRICS

I’ve been here be fore,

but al ways hit the floor.

I’ve (Dbmaj7)spent a life time run ning, and I (Csus)al ways get a way.

But with (Dbmaj7)you, I’m feel ing some thing that (Csus)makes me want to stay.

A Un pre pared for this;

I nev er shoot to miss.

But I (Dbmaj7)feel like a storm is com ing if I’m (Csus)gon na make it through the day.

And there’s (Dbmaj7)no more use in run ning; this is (Csus)some thing I’ve got ta face.

If (Eb)I (Ab)risk it all,

could (Eb)you (Ab)break our (C7)fall?

How do I (Fm)live?

How do I (Eb6/9)breathe?

When you’re not (Dbmaj7)here, I’m suf fo cat (Eb6/9)ing.

I wan na feel (Fm)love run through my (Eb6/9)blood.

Tell me, is (Dbmaj7)this where I give it all (Cm7)up?

For (Bbm7)you, I have to risk it (Cm7)all,

’cause the writ ing’s on the (Fm)wall.

A mil lion shards of glass

that haunt me from my past.

As the (Dbmaj7)stars be gin storm to gath er, and the (Csus)light na be it gins to fade, when all (Dbmaj7)hope be gins to shat ter, know that (Csus)I thing will be a fraid.
