G
Don't wish it away

      Em7     F                 C    F C F C F C
Don't look at it's like it's forever

C               G
Between you and me

That things can only get better

dust out the demons inside

Before you and me run

Where we hide
[Chorus]

Live for each second

Without hesitation

And never forget I'm your man
