[Verse 1]
Am            F            C            G
I still remember, I was young

You put your hand on my shoulder
C                      G
Then you were gone
Am                                F
I’ve been thinking lately
C                                G
How it could have changed me
Am                      F                      G
Oh, I wish you could see me now

[Pre Chorus]
C
Maybe I’m hopeless
F
But I’m only human
Am
I hope that you know that I’d give it all
G                                C
For a moment with you

[Chorus]

These cold hands, this burning heart

But every picture without you still feels so wrong

I’ve been thinking lately, what would you say if you saw me?

Would you be proud of what I’ve become? ooh

[Chorus]
F                                          Am
These cold hands, this burning heart
G                                                    C
Will always be alone without you

I lost you, but all the love you left behind

Will always remind me, remind me of you

Oh, maybe I’m hopeless

But I’m only human

I hope that you know that I’d give it all

I lost you, but all the love you left behind
