Am
I fake a smile and say I'm fine
          F
I know I should have seen the signs
       Dm
but I loved you I was blind
   E
pretendin' we were only killin' time
Am  
a white lie
        F
never thought we'd say goodbye
          Dm
I thought love of our kind
           E
could turn water into wine but I'm

Chorus:

F         G
on my own
                C
tryin' to get a hold of things
       Am          F
what a mess I'm in
               G
I've done wrong
               C
that is why my baby's gone
      Am              F
I got myself to blame
          G
here I am
C            Am
lonely and broken again
F         G      Am
I keep holdin' on
F        G        C
another lover's gone

Verse 2:

             Am
I'm gettin' tired, another try
         F
another failure to reach the sky
         Dm
but I'll always keep on lookin' for
E                                 Am
somebody to be standin' by my side

for Miss Right
                 F
for what makes humanity divine
   Dm
but I can't seem to find
E
someone to love for life so I'm...

Chorus:

F         G
on my own
                C
tryin' to get a hold of things
       Am          F
what a mess I'm in
               G
I've done wrong
               C
that is why my baby's gone
      Am              F
I got myself to blame
          G
here I am
C            Am
lonely and broken again

Bridge:

Dm                   Am
love is not an easy game
                                        Dm
when you're gamblin' with your heart at stake
                   C              C/B          Dm
there's nothing to gain if you're playin' safe
                               Am
barely time to heal before you brake

I hope and pray
   Dm                                  E
I got what it takes to make it all the way

Chorus:


F         G
on my own
                C
tryin' to get a hold of things
       Am          F
what a mess I'm in
               G
I've done wrong
               C
that is why my baby's gone
      Am              F
I got myself to blame
          G
here I am
C            Am
lonely and broken again
F         G      Am
I keep holdin' on
F        G        C
another lover's gone
