[Verse 1]
C             G
If we make it through
          F
 this year
     G
Then nothing can
 C        G   F   G
break us
C
Trouble leaves,
   G           F
then reappears
          G
But we've shown
        C      G   F   G
we can take it

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm       C    G
  We tear our hair out
    G
And overthink it
Dm        C    G         G
  Work and get burned out


[Chorus]
            C  G
But this is no strings
        C/E   F
You are who I love
         C     G
And that won't change
           Em       F
When we're falling apart
            C  G
And this is no strings
        C/E   F
You are who I love
          Am   G   F
It's just grow-ing pains

[Verse 2]
C             G
If we make it through
          F
this year
   G          C
We should celebrate
   G  F  G
 it
C        G         F
Rarified atmosphere
     G       C    G  F  G
'Til now we evaded

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm       C    G
  We tore the walls down
   G
To build them up
Dm     C    G       G
  Never was in doubt

[Chorus]
               C  G
'Cause this is no strings
        C/E   F
You are who I love
         C     G
And that won't change
           Em       F
When we're falling apart
            C  G
And this is no strings
        C/E   F
You are who I love
          Am   G   F
It's just grow-ing pains

[Bridge]
F C                    G
  We did not fight for love
        G
Just to let it be defeated
F            C
  What we're going
                   G
 through is common but
        G
Doesn't mean we don't feel it
F          C
  Would be easy just
            G
to give it up
          G
'Cause we got enough reason
F       C
  Every time that
                G
we have come undone

[Chorus]
             C G
I sang, it's no strings
        C/E  F
You are who I love
         C    G
And that won't change
           Em      F
When we're falling apart
            C  G
And this is no strings
        C/E   F
You are who I love
          Am   G   F
It's just grow-ing pains
