Lyrics

[Verse 1]
D
 Games, changes and fears
A               Em
 When will they go from here?
When will they stop?
               D
I believe that fate has brought us here
A                   Em
 And we should be together, babe
But we're not

[Pre-Chorus]
G                           F#m
 I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
Em
  And I'll keep my cool,
        A
but I'm feigning
                 D
I try to say goodbye and I choke

[Chorus]
               A
I try to walk away and I stumble
                Em
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
         G                         A
My world crumbles when you are not near
    D
Goodbye and I choke
               A
I try to walk away and I stumble
                Em
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
         G                         A
My world crumbles when you are not near

[Verse 2]
D
 I may appear to be free
A               Em
 But I'm just a prisoner of your love
                 D                        A
And I may seem alright and smile when you leave
                  Em
But my smiles are just a front
Just a front, hey!

[Pre-Chorus]
G                           F#m
 I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
Em
  And I'll keep my cool,
        A
but I'm feigning
                 D
I try to say goodbye and I choke

[Chorus]
               A
I try to walk away and I stumble
                Em
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
         G                         A
My world crumbles when you are not near
    D
Goodbye and I choke
               A
I try to walk away and I stumble
                Em
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
         G                         A
My world crumbles when you are not near

[Bridge]
Fmaj7                  Am
     Here is my confession
                    Fmaj7
May I be your possession?
Boy, I need your touch
Em7                       C7
   Your love, kisses, and such
                       Bm
With all my might, I try 
                    Em
But this I can't deny 
Deny

[Pre-Chorus]
G                           F#m
 I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
Em                           A
  I'll keep my cool, but I'm feigning
  A#             D#
I try to say goodbye and I choke

[Chorus]
               A#
I try to walk away and I stumble
                Fm
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
         G#                        A#
My world crumbles when you are not near
    D#
Goodbye and I choke
               A#
I try to walk away and I stumble
                Fm
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
         G#                        A#
My world crumbles when you are not near
    D#
Goodbye and I choke
               A#
I try to walk away and I stumble
                Fm
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
         G#                        A#
My world crumbles when you are not near
