[Verse 1]
N.C.               Dsus4/F#
I build a house for love to grow
D/F#           Em7
    I was so young that it was hard to know
Cadd9                        G/B
         I'm as lost now as I was back then
 Am7                   Dsus4
Always make a mess of everything
 G                    Dsus4/F#
It's about time that I face myself
D/F#             Em7
    All I do is bleed into someone else
Cadd9                          G/B
     Painting walls with all my secret tears
Am7                            Dsus4
     Filling rooms with all my hopes and fears
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    G     Dsus4/F#  Em7
But oh my,  oh      my
 D                 Cadd9
I'll never learn if I never leap
G/B                Am7
I'll always yearn if I never speak
 
[Chorus]
G     Dsus4/F#  Cadd9
To be loved and love at the highest count
D/F#      Em7         D6sus4         Cadd9
Means to lose all the things I can't live without
Cdim                 G       D/F#     Cadd9
Let it be known that I will choose to lose
                    D/F#  Em7         D6sus2
It's a sacrifice but I   can't live a lie
Cadd9            Cdim                    G    D/F#  Cadd9
Let it be known, let it be known that I tried
 
[Verse 2]
G                    Dsus4/F#
I'm so afraid but I'm open wide
           D/F#
I'll be the one
Em7
   to catch myself this time
Cadd9                        G/B
     Trying to learn to lean into it all
Am7                       Dsus4
   Ain't it funny how the mighty fall?
G                     Dsus4/F#
 Looking back I don't regret a thing
D/F#                       Em7
    Yeah, I took some bad turns that I am owning
Cadd9                            G/B
     I'll stand still and let the storm pass by
Am7                            Dsus4
   Keep my heart safe 'til the time feels right
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    G     Dsus4/F#  Em7
But oh my,  oh      my
 D                 Cadd9
I'll never learn if I never leap
G/B                 Am7
I'll always yearn if I never speak
 
[Chorus]
G     Dsus4/F#  Cadd9
To be loved and love at the highest count
D/F#      Em7         D6sus4         Cadd9
Means to lose all the things I can't live without
Cdim                 G       D/F#     Cadd9
Let it be known that I will choose to lose
                    D/F#  Em7         D6sus2
It's a sacrifice but I   can't live a lie
         Cadd9
Let it be known
 
[Bridge]
          Cdim         Em  Ebaug
Let it be known that I cried      for you
              G     A7
Even started lying to you 
        Am7     G/B
What a thing to do
Cadd9         Dsus4
All because I wanted
 
[Chorus]
G     Dsus4/F#  Cadd9
To be loved and love at the highest count
D/F#      Em7         D6sus4         Cadd9
Means to lose all the things I can't live without
Cdim                               G      D/F#           Cadd9
Let it be known, known, known that I will choose, I will lose
                    D/F#  Em7         D6sus2
It's a sacrifice but I   can't live a lie
Cadd9
Let it be known
 
 
[Outro]
   Cdim                 G  D/F#  Cadd9
Let it be known that I tri-------ed,
D/F#       Em7  D6sus2 Cadd9
    that I tri----------ed
Cdim            N.C.     G
Let it be known that I tried

Great work. For opening chord, should be D#sus4/G#?

Great tab! Is there a way to transpose it so that it's in the original key? Ultimate Guitar is only transposing it into #s and won't do Ab. Thank you!
