Waiting for you to bring me in from out the cold
[Pre-chorus]
Em F#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
Em A
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name
[Chorus]
D Em
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring
G G/F# Em D
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
D Em
Set my midnight sorrow free, I will give you all of me
Bm E7 G D
Leave your lover, leave him for me
Bm E7 G D
Leave your lover, leave him for me
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D A G
We sit in bars and raise our drinks to growing old
G Em7 D
I'm in love with you and you will never know,
D A G
But if I can't have you I'll walk this life alone
G Em7 D
Spare you the rising storms and let the river flow
[Pre-chorus]
Em F#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain
Em A
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name
[Chorus]
D Em
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring
G G/F# Em D
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
D Em
Set my midnight sorrow free, I will give you all of me
Bm E7 G D
Leave your lover, leave him for me
Bm E7 G D
Leave your lover, leave him for me
Bm E7 G D
Leave your lover, leave him for me
