As recorded by Story Of The Year (From the 2017 Album WOLVES) [Intro] Bm7 D Bm7 D Bm7 D Bm7 D [Verse 1]
           Bm              D
I found an angel near the edge

           Bm                 D
I felt her placed against my skin

          Bm              D
I saw the face of God, I know

       Bm               D              Bm    
You're more than me, I know I need you
[Verse 2]
Bm                                D            
When it's a sound that makes you live

            Bm                 D
The way the needle breaks the skin

          Bm                  D
And all I want's to keep you safe

    Bm            D
But how can we go on this way?
[Chorus]
G                   Bm             F#m
Now I'm wide awake, staring at the ceiling

   G                   Bm F#m
As time is counting my days

       G           Bm            F#m
Like a tidal wave, tearing me to pieces

  G                 A                 Bm      A Bm
As I'm praying for rain to carry me away
[Verse 3]
Bm7                    D
It's a simple life we live

            Bm7              D
Where every moment's like a gift

           Bm7                   D
And just a song could help you sleep

          Bm7                D
But it's hard to sing with broken wings
[Chorus]
G           Bm             F#m
Wide awake, staring at the ceiling

   G                   Bm F#m
As time is counting my days

       G           Bm            F#m
Like a tidal wave, tearing me to pieces

   G                       A         Bm D  
As I'm praying for rain to carry me away

   A         Bm D
To carry me away

   A         Bm D
To carry me away

   A         Bm D A  Bm  
To carry me away
[Interlude] Bm D Bm D [Pre-Bridge]
     G
It's moments like these

        Bm
Where I feel like I'm tied to the tracks

A              G
And a train is barreling toward me

                                        Bm
I can feel its rumble and I can see its lights

            F#m                  G
But somehow I'm not scared to die

                    A                           Bm
I don't pray for it to stop, I don't pray for escape

          G
All I can do is close my eyes and wait

                 A
And just moments before it decides

        Bm                    G
To take my heart, take my blood

                                 Bm
I tell myself that it's only love
[Interlude] Bm [Bridge]
Bm
Take my heart, take my blood

Bm
Cause after all it's only love

Bm
Take my heart, take my blood

Bm
It's only love

G           A                   Bm
We took our time, we turned the page

                              G
And now it's all that still remains

             A                    Bm
We found the lights, we found our name

                          G
I hope we find ourselves again

             A                   Bm
You broke me down, you fucked me up

                       G
But still it never was enough

           A              B
So take my heart, take my blood

            G A Bm B 
It's only love
[Interlude] G A Bm B G A Bm B G A Bm [Outro]
Bm
Love!

                D
To carry me away

   A         Bm D
To carry me away

   A         Bm D   
To carry me away

   A         Bm D  A  Bm
To carry me away
D A Bm
