[Verse 1]
Ebm9               Ab7sus4
I'd rather write a symphony
Fm7                    Bbm9  Bbm9/Ab
Than play this lonely melody
Ebm9      Ab7sus4                 Dbmaj9 Db/F
You know I just gotta bring it all out.

Ebm9               Ab7sus4
So if you need my company
Fm7                    Bbm9  Bbm9/Ab
Open your eyes, look att me
Ebm9      Ab7sus4                 Dbmaj9
While I'm singing my life away.

[Verse 2]
Ebm9               Ab7sus4
I'd rather hear your interlude
Fm7                    Bbm9  Bbm9/Ab
Than live my life in solitude
Ebm9      Ab7sus4                 Dbmaj9 Db/F
You know it's so hard to play it alone.

Ebm9               Ab7sus4
So if you need me close to you
F7          F7/A
Stay by my side
    Bbm9  Bbm9/Ab
And help me through
Ebm9      Ab7sus4
While I'm singin my pain away.


[Chorus]
Cm Cm/Eb       F      F/A
   Often we're aching
Bbm      Bbm/C  Db   Db/F
We're so easily breaking
Cm   Cm/Eb       F      F/A
  My fingers are shaking
Bbm      Bbm/C  Db   Db/F
Oh, I gotta hang on to myself

Cm Cm/Eb       F      F/A
   Often it's trying
Bbm      Bbm/C  Db   Db/F
Hiding tears when I'm crying
Edim      Edim/G      Edim/Bb
     When somethin is wrong
Edim/Db                Bbm      Bbm/C  Db   Db/F
       It's hard to be strong
Edim      Edim/G      Edim/Bb
      The minute they're gone
Eb7  Ab Bbm Ab/C
I'll carry  on.


[Verse 3]
Ebm9               Ab7sus4
I'd rather share your sympathy
Fm7                  Bbm9  Bbm9/Ab
Than sail away in majesty
Ebm9         Ab7sus4            Dbmaj9 Db/F
You know I'm dying to have you around
