  			Intro: Eb Gm F 

verse 1: 
Eb                               Gm  
Locked inside my mind, passing time 
F                 Eb  Gm F 
With nothing to lose 
Eb                             Gm 
Tryna to find a reason to fight 
F                  Eb   Gm F 
With nothing to prove 

            Eb 
I’ve been waiting for the light to glow 
                Gm          F 
Waiting for the love to show 
              Eb  Gm F 
Waiting for you 

          Eb        
I’m just laying in the fading light 
                 Gm            F 
Waiting for the chance to strike 
             Eb  Gm F 
Waiting for you 

Bridge: 
                   C 
But, it’s never right 
             Eb 
It’s never good enough for you 
                Gm 
Can’t speak my mind 
                 F 
’Cause you don’t wanna hear the truth 
          Cm 
You only tell me, 
          Eb 
What you want me to say 
                  Gm 
You’ve made your point 
                      F 
but I can do this myself 

C Cm 
 
              Bb         F         C Cm 
How could you do this to me? 
    Bb         F             C Cm 
It’s getting harder to breathe 
              Bb                F 
Can’t hold me down, can’t drown me out 
            Eb 
Cause I’ll slip away slowly 
       F            Eb 
The closer you hold me 



verse 2: 
( Eb )                     Gm 
Temporary moments to fight 
F                 Eb  Gm F 
Distorting the view 
Eb                           Gm          
Visions of this chasing you hide 
F               Eb   Gm F 
But something into 

          Eb                               
Whenever things been done before 
                      Gm         F                Eb  Gm F 
You’re still knocking at my door, begging for more 
           Eb                  
When you spilling me another line 
            Gm             F 
Thinking on take them blind 
                  Eb  Gm F 
Is that all I’m for? 

Bridge: 
                   C 
But, it’s never right 
             Eb 
It’s never good enough for you 
                Gm 
Can’t speak my mind 
                 F 
’Cause you don’t wanna hear the truth 
          Cm 
You only tell me, 
          Eb 
What you want me to say 
                  Gm 
You’ve made your point 
                      F 
but I can do this myself 

C Cm 
 
   Bb         F         C Cm 
How could you do this to me? 
    Bb         F             C Cm 
It’s getting harder to breathe 
              Bb                F 
Can’t hold me down, can’t drown me out 
            Eb 
Cause I’ll slip away slowly 
       F              C Cm  
The closer you hold me (x2)
