Intro: G

Verse 1:
G
Lyin' awake at four in the mornin'
                        C
Losing our breathe when all we've done was talk
               D           G
And this hurts better than makin' out in the back of a car
                                        C
When I was fifteen and thought I was in love
           D
I found it now

Pre-chorus:
         Em               D
But your heart has held a place
         C
Should I hope that it can change?
         Am7               Em               D
I try to leave but I don't think I can walk away

Chorus:
            G              D
But you say hold on just a little my darling
    Em                D            C
And follow until it's me in your embrace
                         D
But my hands are getting cold and it's been
G                      D
So hard to know you're with him in the morning
    Em               D                   C
I'm all in but I'm a chance you'll never take
                        D              G
And it hurts when all I have is second place

Verse 2:
G                      D
How could we start and end in the night
Em                      D             C
Something so right? Now we don't even talk
           D           G                            D
But I keep waiting for you to call back, say you've changed your mind
Em                 D                C
Just run away, and leave this all behind
           G     D
And that's all I want

Pre-chorus:
         Em               D
But your heart has held a place
         C
Should I hope that it can change?
         Am7               Em               D
I try to leave but I don't think I can walk away

Chorus:
            G              D
But you say hold on just a little my darling
    Em                D            C
And follow until it's me in your embrace
                         D
But my hands are getting cold and it's been
G                      D
So hard to know you're with him in the morning
    Em               D                   C
I'm all in but I'm a chance you'll never take
                        D              G  D  Em  D
And it hurts when all I have is second place

Post-chorus:
    C       D
Second place
    G  D  Em  D
Second place
    C         D
Second place

Outro:
            G              D
But you say hold on just a little my darling
    Em                D            C
And follow until it's me in your embrace
       C                D              G
And it hurts when all I have is second place
