[Verse 1]
A A6
The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing
F#m G A
There's someone in this crazy world for me
D Dm G7
The way that people come and go through temporary lives
A F#m Bm D E
My chance could come and I might never know
A A6
I used to say "no promises, let's keep it simple"
F#m G A
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
D C#m F#m
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
Bm D A
The price I paid is high enough for me
[Chorus]
D E C#m E F#m
I know I need to be in love
Bm E A G A
I know I've wasted too much time
D Db F#m
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
Bm D A A7 D Ddim7 A
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find
[Verse 2]
A A6
So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
F#m G A
But none of them will comfort me tonight
D C#m F#m
I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
Bm D A
I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all alright
[Kembali ke Chorus] 2x
