VERSE 1 (W/ VERSE RIFF)

C#5                G#5    F#5
I found the pieces in my hand
C#5               G#5           F#5
They were always there It just took some time for me to understand
C#5          G#5               F#5
You gave me words I just can't say 
C#5          G#              F#5
So if nothing else I'll just hold on while you drift away 


PRE-CHORUS 1

D#5                            C#5   
Cause everything you wanted me to hide 
D#5                             C#5     F#5 G#5
Is everything that makes me feel alive 


CHORUS

C#5
The cities grow 
G#5
The rivers flow 
F#5
Where you are, I never know 
    C#5  G#5   F#5
But I'm still here 
   C#5                  
If you were right and
G#5
I was wrong 
F#5
Why are you the one who's gone 
    C#5  G#5   F#5
And I'm still here 
               C#5
I'm still here 


VERSE 2 (W/ VERSE RIFF)

C#5             G#5          F#5
You've seen the ashes in my heart 
C#5            G#5          F#5
You smile the widest when I cry inside and my insides blow apart 
C#5        G#5          F#5
I tried to wear another face
C#5               G#5           F#5
Just to make you proud, just to make you put me in my place 


PRE-CHORUS 2

D#5                        C#5
But everything you wanted from me 
D#5                        C#5      F#5 G#5
Is everything that I could never be 


CHORUS

C#5
The cities grow 
G#5
The rivers flow 
F#5
Where you are, I never know 
    C#5  G#5   F#5
But I'm still here 
   C#5                  
If you were right and
G#5
I was wrong 
F#5
Why are you the one who's gone 
    C#5  G#5   F#5
And I'm still here 
               C#5
I'm still here 

And I'm still here 


BRIDGE

C#5       D#5                   A#5
Maybe tonight, it's gonna be alright 
   G#5      F#5
I  will get better 
C#5      G#5                  A#5
Maybe today , it's gonna be okay 
  G#5    F#5    G#5
I will remember 


VERSE 3 (W/ VERSE RIFF UNTIL FINAL F#5)

C#5         G#5         F#5
I held the pieces of my soul 
C#5       G#5          F#5
I was shattered and I wanted you to come and make me whole 
C#5        G#5       F#5
Then I saw you yesterday 
    C#5        G#5     F#5
but you didn't notice, you just walked away

 
PRE-CHORUS 3

D#5                            C#5   
Cause everything you wanted me to hide 
D#5                             C#5    
Is everything that makes me feel alive 


CHORUS

    C#5
The cities grow 
    G#5
The rivers flow 
F#5
Where you are, I never know 
    C#5  G#5   F#5
But I'm still here 
   C#5                  
If you were right and
G#5
I was wrong 
F#5
Why are you the one who's gone 
    C#5  G#5   F#5
And I'm still here 


OUTRO CHORUS

     C#5                
The lights go out
     G#5
the bridges burn 
F#5
Once you're gone, you can't return 
    C#5  G#5   F#5
But I'm still here
C#5                    
Remember how
    G#5
You used to say
   F#5
I'd be the one to run away 
    C#5  G#5   F#5
But I'm still here
               C#
I'm still here
I'm still here
