As soon as I saw this song on the Air1 vid, I fell in love with it and spent
the
of the afternoon learning it. It's fairly easy, standard
tuning. She sings it with the
on the 2nd fret.
There's two ways to play the intro, I use the first one, the second one is what's in the
video.
*You can play the Dsus4 whichever way you like, I usually play it either (xx0233) or
Sounds good either way.
**Note, I may not be 100% correct but it sounds alright to me. :]

You keep trying to get inside my head
While I keep trying to lose the words you said
Can't you see I'm hanging by a thread?
Cadd9 Dsus4* (xx0233)
To my life, what I know, yeah I'm losing control and
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
Oh, no, my walls are gonna break
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
So close, it's more than I can take
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
I'm so tired of turning and running away
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
When love just isn't safe

Em7 Cadd9 G (palm muting throughout first 3 lines)
I'm strong enough I've always told myself
Em7 Cadd9 G
I never want or need somebody else
Em7 Cadd9 G
But I've already fallen from that hill
Cadd9 Dsus4
So I'm dropping my guard, here's your chance in my heart and
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
Oh, no, my walls are gonna break
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
So close, it's more than I can take
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
I'm so tired of turning and running away
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
When love just isn't
Cadd9 Em7 (strumming is different, listen to video)
Everything you want, but it's everything you need
Cadd9 Em7
It's not always happy endings, but it's all the in-betweens
Cadd9 Em7
It's taken so long, so long to finally see that
Cadd9 Dsus4
Your love is worth the risk
