[Intro]
 
E   E   C#m C#m  B  B   A   A
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
           E                C#m                               B
Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes, but its the only thing that I 
     A                 E
 know.and when it gets hard, you know it can get
 C#m                       B                                      A
 hard sometimes, it is the only thing that makes us feel alive.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
C#m                         A
we keep this love in a photograph,
E                          B
We make these memories for ourselves,
          C#m                    A
Where our eyes are never closing, hearts are never broken
    E                     B
And times are ever frozen still
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           E                                 B
so you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped
B
Jeans,
                           C#m
Holding me closer till our eyes meet,
                   A                         E
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
           E                C#m                         B
Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul, but its the only thing 
       A
I know
                    E
I swear it will get easier
                         C#m
Remember that with every piece of ya, 
            B                                  A
And its the only thing we take with us when we die
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
C#m                         A
we keep this love in a photograph,
E                          B
We make these memories for ourselves,
          C#m                     A
Where our eyes are never closing, hearts are never broken
     E                    B
And times are ever frozen still
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           E                                 B
so you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped
B
Jeans,
                           C#m
Holding me closer till our eyes meet,
                   A
You won't ever be alone,
           E
And if you hurt me, well that's okay baby
     B                                        C#m
Only words bleed, inside these pages you just hold me,
                         A
And I won't ever let you go, 
                    C#m
Wait for me to come home
                    A
Wait for me to come home
                    E
Wait for me to come home
                    B
Wait for me to come home, ohh
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
        E                                                B
You can fit me inside the necklace you got when you were 16,
                               C#m
Next to your heartbeat where I should be,
                         A
Keep it deep within your soul
           E
And if you hurt me,
                           B
Well that's okay baby only words bleed,
                            C#m
Inside these pages you just hold me,
                         A
And I won't ever let you go.
 
 
[Outro]
 
             E
And when I'm away,
                        B
I will remember how you kissed me,
                           C#m
Under the lamppost back on 6th street,
                                A
Hearing you whisper through the phone,
 A
"Wait for me to come home"
