[Intro]
G  Bm   Em  C

[Verse 1]
           G
You're the lump in my throat
           Bm
You're the reason I choke
       Em           D          C
On the words that I wish I had said
           G
You're the feeling of home
         Bm
Smell of smoke on my coat
           Em        D     C
Missed you over, and over again

[Pre-Chorus]
              Am            G
Everybody says I'll survive,
I'll be fine
    D
But they don't know what it's like

[Chorus]
              G        D
If it doesn't wake you up
             Em
In a violent sweat and
           C
steal your breath
              G      D
If it doesn't make a cut
                Em
That just won't close,
          C
it wasn't love
             G
So let me go

With someone tryna page ovеr me?
