Intro: E  Abm

Verse:
E                                                    Abm
I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
    E                                                          Abm
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

Pre-Chorus:
A            B           A
You put your arms around me
        B               E                  B     A    B
and I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
A                  B                 E      Abm
You put your arms around me and I'm home

Verse:
E                                                       Abm
How many times will let you me change my mind and turn around?
E                                                      Abm       Dbm
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

Chorus:
                B         E           A        Dbm
I hope that you see right through my walls
                B                   E        A        Dbm
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
           B        E            A
I'll never let our love get so close
    A              B
You put your arms around me and I'm home

Interlude: E     Abm     E     Abm

Verse:
    E                                                           Abm
The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
  E                                                         Abm
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

Pre-Chorus:
A            B           A
You put your arms around me
        B               E                  B     A    Dbm
and I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

Chorus:
                B         E           A        Dbm
I hope that you see right through my walls
                B                   E        A        Dbm
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
           B        E            A
I'll never let our love get so close

Bridge:
    A              B                Dbm       B    Abm    A
You put your arms around me and I'm home...
  Dbm              B             Abm           A
I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
      Dbm          B
And I never opened up
        Abm
I never truly loved till

Pre-Chorus:
A            B           A
You put your arms around me
        B               E                  B     A
and I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

Interlude: E     Abm     E     Abm     Dbm

Outro:
                B         E           A        Dbm
I hope that you see right through my walls
                B                   E        A        Dbm
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
           B        E            A
I'll never let our love get so close
    A              B                 E
You put your arms around me and I'm home
    A              B                 E
You put your arms around me and I'm home

-4 is gorgeous for sopranos.

-2 is also easier. Especially if you’re plucking the 2nd and 3rd strings for the verses.

-4 is super easy to play and a good key for altos or high tenors (I’m a tenor, it was in my higher range but not too high)

+3 sounds suuuuuper pretty if you have a high or low enough voice :) that, +1, and -4 are all easier alternatives to 0. It also sounds really nice for this particular song if you pluck instead of strum, alternating between the C string, and then the E and A strings at the same time, about four times each for the verse chords. Once you get into the pattern, it flows really nicely

  Only for lower (alto or mezzo) voices. But -4 is an easier alternative with the chords, so if you want to keep the same pitch with simpler chords just put a capo on the 4th fret.
