1. Loving can [E] hurt
Loving can [C#m] hurt sometimes
But it's the [B] only thing that I know [A]
When it gets [E] hard
You know it can get [C#m] hard sometimes
It is the [B] only thing that makes us feel [A] alive
Pre-Chorus:
[C#m] We keep this love in a [A] photograph
[E] We made these memories for [B] ourselves
Where our [C#m] eyes are never closing
Our [A] hearts are never broken
And [E] time's forever frozen [B] still
Chorus:
So you can [E] keep me
Inside the pocket of your [B] ripped jeans
Holding me close until our [C#m] eyes meet
You won't ever be [A] alone
Wait for me to come [E] home
2. Loving can [E] heal
Loving can [C#m] mend your soul
And it's the [B] only thing that I know, know [A]
I swear it will get [E] easier
remember that with every [C#m] piece of ya
And it's the [B] only thing we take with us when we [A] die
Pre-Chorus:
[C#m] We keep this love in a [A] photograph
[E] We made these memories for [B] ourselves
Where our [C#m] eyes are never closing
Our [A] hearts are never broken
And [E] time's forever frozen [B] still
Chorus:
So you can [E] keep me
Inside the pocket of your [B] ripped jeans
Holding me close until our [C#m] eyes meet
You won't ever be [A] alone
And if you [E] hurt me
That's ok baby, only [B] words bleed
Inside these pages you just [C#m] hold me
And I won't ever let you [A] go
Bridge:
Wait for me to come [C#m] home
Wait for me to come [A] home
Wait for me to come [E] home
Wait for me to come [B] home
Chorus:
Or you can [E] fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were [B] sixteen
Next to your heart beat where I [C#m] should be
Keep it deep within your [A] soul
And if you [E] hurt me
Well that's ok baby, only [B] words bleed
Inside these pages you just [C#m] hold me
And I won't ever let you [A] go
And when I'm [E] away
I will remember how you [B] kissed me
Under the lamppost back on [C#m] sixth Street
Hearing you whisper through the [A] phone
Wait for me to come [E] home
