Capo 3

Chords

This is a basic version to play around with. I like to finger pick the verses and strum the chorus. I found a few on here that didnt sound right to me, so did my own by listening to the song over and over. If you play the Cadd9, G and Em with both fingers on the E and B string I think it sounds more better.

How can I love when i'm afraid to fall

                 G
But watching you stand alone

          Em             Cadd9 D     Am
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow.

I will not let   anything take away

                  G
Whats standing in front of me.

      Em            Cadd9     D       Am
Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step    clo ser
