[Intro]
(Fmaj)   (Bbmaj)   (Fmaj)   (Bbmaj)

[Verse 1]
        (Fmaj)                     (Bbmaj)
Can you hold your own while I'm gone?
  (Fmaj)                       (Bbmaj)
I swear I won't be gone for long
         (Gmin)m
Could it be some things never change
(Bbmaj)
I think it's just been one of those days
    (Gmin)m
Too tired to work out what's in front of us
(Bbmaj)
Settle down, forget that stuff
(Gmin)m
Take a breather, believe in me
    (Bbmaj)
You can't live your whole life in one evening
(Gmin)m               (Bbmaj)
Promise me while I'm away
That you'll find yourself

[Chorus]
(Fmaj)   (Bbmaj)   (Fmaj)   (Bbmaj)
(Gmin)m  (Bbmaj)   (Gmin)m  (Bbmaj)

[Verse 2]
  (Fmaj)                      (Bbmaj)
I found out right from the start
     (Fmaj)              (Bbmaj)
That I was falling apart
(Gmin)m
You were there when I hit the floor
(Bbmaj)
After all, what are best friends for?
   (Gmin)m
Wherever I was you know you were there too
(Bbmaj)
Stopping me from what I shouldn't do
(Gmin)m
Always saw the good in me
(Bbmaj)
And the potential of what I could be
(Gmin)m                   (Bbmaj)
I promised you while you were gone
That I would find myself

[Chorus 2]
Dm   (Fmaj)   (Bbmaj)
Dm   (Fmaj)   (Bbmaj)

[Verse 3]
  Dm           (Fmaj)               (Bbmaj)
I don't know when you'll come my way
 Dm        (Fmaj)         Bm
Another time, another place
        (Gmin)m                  (Bbmaj)
Can you hold your own while you are gone?
(Gmin)m                  (Bbmaj)
Have you been there all along?
(Gmin)m               (Bbmaj)
Promise me while I'm away
