[Em]Lately I’m getting [C]lost on [G] [D]you.
[Em]You got me doing things I [C]never thought [G]I’d do.
[Em]Never spent so long on a [C]losing [G]battle.
[Em]But lately giving up don’t [C]seem to [G]matter.


[C]Everyday I’m a [D]slave to the [Em]heartache.
And you’re [G]wasting [D]away every [C]night.
I [C]don’t wanna [D]leave you [Em]lonely.
But [G]I’ve [D]run out of love this [C]time.


You [C]know [D]that I [Em]adore you.
Though I [G]couldn’t [F#m]give enough. [Em]
Hope you’ll be [C]safe in the [D]arms of [Em]another.
‘Cause I [C]can’t take the [D]weight of your [G]love.


[Em]Lately I’m getting [C]lost on [G] [D]you
I [Em]tore your world apart [C]like it was [G]nothing new
[Em]Never bled so much when I [C]didn’t [G]have to
I’ve [Em]given up on a [C]life lived [G]after


[C]Everyday I’m a [D]slave to the [Em]heartache.
And you’re [G]wasting [D]away every [C]night.
I [C]don’t wanna [D]leave you [Em]lonely.
But [G]I’ve [D]run out of love this [C]time.


You [C]know [D]that I [Em]adore you.
Though I [G]couldn’t [F#m]give enough. [Em]
Hope you’ll be [C]safe in the [D]arms of [Em]another.
‘Cause I [C]can’t take the [D]weight of your [G]love.


[Am]I had a hold on your soul.
But I lost my [G]grip, let you go.
[Am]I should’ve carried us [Em]both. [G]


[C]Everyday I’m a [D]slave to the [Em]heartache.
And you’re [G]wasting [D]away every [C]night.
I [C]don’t wanna [D]leave you [Em]lonely.
But [G]I’ve [D]run out of love this [C]time.


You [C]know [D]that I [Em]adore you.
Though I [G]couldn’t [F#m]give enough. [Em]
Hope you’ll be [C]safe in the [D]arms of [Em]another.
‘Cause I [C]can’t take the [D]weight of your [Em]love.
Of your [A]love…
Hope you’ll be [C]safe in the [D]arms of [Em]another.
‘Cause I [C]can’t take the [D]weight of your [G]love.
