Verse 1:
      E        C#m
Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
       B            A
But it's the only thing that I know
       E             C#m
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
     B                 A
It's the only thing that makes us feel alive


Pre-Chorus:
C#m                 A
   We keep this love in a photograph
E                  B
   We made these memories for ourselves
     C#m
Where our eyes are never closing
   A
Our hearts were never broken
   E            B
And time's forever frozen, still


Chorus 1:
      E
So you can keep me
              B
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
              C#m
Holding me close until our eyes meet
           A             E
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home


Verse 2:
      E        C#m
Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul
       B            A
And it's the only thing that I know, no
           E                C#m
I swear it will get easier, remember that with every piece of ya
       B                  A
And it's the only thing to take with us when we die, mmm


Pre-Chorus:
C#m               A
  We keep this love in a photograph
E                 B
  We made these memories for ourselves
     C#m
Where our eyes are never closing
   A
Our hearts were never broken
   E            B
And time's forever frozen, still


Chorus 2:
      E
So you can keep me
              B
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
              C#m
Holding me close until our eyes meet
           A
You won't ever be alone
      E
And if you hurt me, that's okay baby
   B
Only words bleed inside these pages
     C#m
You just hold me
              A
And I won't ever let you go
           C#m
Wait for me to come home
           E
Wait for me to come home
           A
Wait for me to come home
           B
Wait for me to come home


Bridge:
      E
Oh you can fit me
                      B
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
                C#m
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
              A
Keep it deep within your soul
      E
And if you hurt me, that's okay baby
   B
Only words bleed inside these pages
     C#m
You just hold me
             A
And I won't ever let you go


//Switch back to palm mute

Outro:
      E              B
When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me
              C#m
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
                 A
Hearing you whisper through the phone

Wait for me to come home
