A              E      Dmaj7
I kind of keep asking myself     little questions

A               Asus2   C#m7
Like where do I go from here

A              E                Dmaj7
I seem to keep loosing track of time and how long it's been

A            F#m7    C#m7  D
Since I last had you near

       F#m7    E         D           A
Been a painful road to a door that's closed

       D             E               D
Been a gamble that I knew I couldn't win

       F#m          E              D             A
Been a lonely conversation to this photograph of you

       D                E                D    E
In the mirror there's a sign I must give in
[Chorus]
           A                C#m7  D
So I'm not holding back the tears anymore

F#m    E          Dmaj7      A             F#m                      E
tryin' escape the heartache, tryin' escape emotion   (tryin' escape emotion)

           A                C#m7     Dmaj7
No I'm not holding back the tears anymore

F#m7    Em     D        A               Bm7
Yesterday's my memory   reminding me of all the time

  D        A        F#m7    C#m7    D
I depended on you
[Verse 2]
A         E              D
I used to enjoy spending time    on my own here

A            F#m7         C#m7   D
Watching the jaded people pass

A             E             D                                            A
Now here I am sharing their pain   and their lonely tears ( their lonely tears)

              F#m7           C#m7                 E
And walking a road of broken glass (never believe that)

       F#m7     E            D                    A
It's a constant fight to get through each day and night

       D               E               D
It's a war between the present and the past (the present and the past)

        F#m7                E             D                   A
And the face that's in your mind    every time you close your eyes

           D                  E                          D               E
What's the reason, what's the answer, how long will this last (will this last)
[Chorus]
           A                C#m7  D
So I'm not holding back the tears anymore

F#m7   E          Dmaj7      A             F#m                      D
tryin' escape the heartache, tryin' escape emotion   (tryin' escape emotion)

           A                C#m7     Dmaj7
No I'm not holding back the tears anymore

F#m7    Em     D        A               Bm7           E
Yesterday's my memory   reminding me of all the time

           A        F#m7    C#m7    D
I depended on you
[Bridge]
        F#m       E              D               A
Been a long long time   since I heard your last goodbye

         D               E             D
Still I hear it clearly every day and night

           F#m       E               D               A
What's the point in love   when you have to give it up

               D                E               D      E
Yet still you need it and it's nowhere you can find
[Chorus]
           A                C#m7  D
So I'm not holding back the tears anymore

F#m7   E          Dmaj7      A             F#m                      D
tryin' escape the heartache, tryin' escape emotion   (tryin' escape emotion)

           A                C#m7     Dmaj7
No I'm not holding back the tears anymore

F#m7    Em     D        A               Bm7           E
Yesterday's my memory   reminding me of all the time
[Chorus]
           A                E     F#m7
So I'm not holding back the tears anymore

       E          Dmaj7      A             F#m                      D
tryin' escape the heartache, tryin' escape emotion   (tryin' escape emotion)

           A                C#m7     F#m
No I'm not holding back the tears anymore

        Em     D        A               Bm7           E
Yesterday's my memory   reminding me of all the time

               A            F#m7           D E A
But I depended on.... you
