D         A              Bm
I've been walking on the edge for so damn long

D        A              Bm G
I can no longer see the light

D           A                Bm              G
It keeps me up too late when everything goes wrong

          D A        Bm   G
How do you  sleep so tight?

D       A              Bm     G
And I believe that you always shelter

    D      A               Bm  G
And I need saving from the storm

D       A              Bm            G
You and me, we weren't made for each other

D           A                 G
That's just something we'll ignore
[Chorus]
Bm         G                        D
Oh me, oh, we already know how this goes

       A                Bm
By the morning, I'll be gone

                  G                      D
Though we've both seen our fare share of thorns

         A                    Bm
It don't mean that this ain't wrong

          G                 D
Maybe someday I'll be on my own

        A                     Bm
But for now you're where I'll go

          G                            D
I know, I know that you're better off alone

        A                                 Bm
But for me, your arms are better than the floor
[Interlude] G D A Bm G D A [Verse 2]
D      A                 Bm            G
Broken love is something we've already tried

D           A               Bm  G
And we both know it doesn't work

D       A               Bm         G
I can't promise you the rest of my life

        D              A        Bm        G
But I'm here right now for what it's worth

D              Bm              G
Late at night, I don't need no reason

 D              A       Bm G
I come knocking at your door

A                  Bm          D
Can't deny that as long as I'm breathing

              A               G
Well, I'll be coming back for more
[Chorus]
Bm         G                        D
Oh me, oh, we already know how this goes

       A                Bm
By the morning, I'll be gone

                  G                      D
Though we've both seen our fare share of thorns

         A                    Bm
It don't mean that this ain't wrong

          G                 D
Maybe someday I'll be on my own

        A                     Bm
But for now you're where I'll go

          G                            D
I know, I know that you're better off alone

        A                                 Bm   G D
But for me, your arms are better than the floor
[Outro]
        A                                 Bm   G D A
But for me, your arms are better than the floor
