If you listen to the [Am]night
You can [F]hear the [Am]darkness call
I can [F]barely stand [C]to wait
I can [F]barely stand at [C]all

[Verse 2]
C'mon [Am]closer to me now
Like [F]we're sharing the [Em]same [Am]skin
We gotta [F]get out of this jail

So many [E]thing[G#m]s in your

So many [E]chances you [G#m]lost
That [Eb]you'll never for[E]get
"Why didn't [B]I make it?"
[E]"Why didn't I tak[B]e it
right there?"

[Verse 5]
[Am]The loneliest words you'll ever know
"If [G]only, if only it was so"

[Am]

There's no [F]reason [E]for [Am]these fears
It's [F]a promise that was [C]made
We've been [F]promised this [C]for years

I wanna [Am]show you it all
What to [F]do and [E]where an[Am]d how
Because [F]we'll never be as [C]young
as we [F]are right [C]now
We'll [F]never be as [C]young
as we [F]are right [C]now
So many [G#m]cries in the night

[Verse 12]
That [Eb]you try to ig[E]nore
"Why didn't I do [B]this?"
"Why [E]didn't I do [B]that?"

[Verse 13]
So many [G#m]unanswered prayers
So many [Eb]unopened door[E]s
"Why didn't I [B]take it?"
[E]"Why didn't I m[B]ake it
come true?"
