[Verse 1]
C
Can't even begin to explain
G
This all too well familiar pain
    Cadd9
It comes and it goes
                               F
But it gets in my bones all the same, ooh-ooh
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      C
Well, maybe I'm a fool
        F
For falling in love with you
       Cadd9                 G
When I had nothing left to lose
        C
And nothing more I could give
         F
Went down with your sinking ship
     Cadd9                      G
Now I don't think I'll make it through
        Cadd9
Through
 
[Chorus]
                             C
Now it's only the beat of my heart
                                    F
That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
                                    G
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya
 
Keep ya
                           Cadd9
Keep ya from burning alone
                                      C
'Cause, the longer you convince me to stay
                                 F
Our salvation's slipping further away
                                   G
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya
 
Keep ya
                           C
Keep ya from burning alone
 
[Verse 2]
    C
Forget evеrything we've come to еxpect
        G
It only serves to further fuck with our heads
            Cadd9
And I don't wanna pretend
                                F
This will all be alright in the end, ooh-ooh
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    C                       F
So maybe, now, instead of balancing on the edge
         Cadd9                G
We could put this to bed for good
    C                             F
Can call it quits or risk sinking with this broken ship
       Cadd9                   G
But I don't think we'd make it through
        Cadd9
Through
 
[Chorus]
                              C
Now it's only the beat of my heart
                                      F
That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
                                   G
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya
 
Keep ya
                           Cadd9
Keep ya from burning alone
                                       C
'Cause, the longer you convince me to stay
                                   F
Our salvation's slipping further away
                                    G
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya
 
Keep ya
                           C
Keep ya from burning alone
 
[Bridge]
                 F
I wish I could stay
                C
I wish I could lie
                G                                 C
Do whatever it takes to get you through the night
               F
I can't be the one
                 C
I can't take the fall
                    G                            Cadd9
Can't go up in the flames to keep your body warm
 
[Chorus]
                              C
Now it's only the beat of my heart
                                      F
That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
                                   G
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya
 
Keep ya
                           Cadd9
Keep ya from burning alone
                                       C
'Cause, the longer you convince me to stay
                                  F
Our salvation's slipping further away
                                   G
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya
 
Keep ya
                       C
Keep ya from burning alone

The Cadd9 at the start of the chorus “keep ya from burning alone” should be a C and the C below that should be Am where it says “convince me to stay”
+1

Personally I think that all Cadd9 should be replaced with Am. Every C at the start of the chorus should be swapped to the first chord leading into the chorus, and Am should be where it says “beat of my heart” and “convince me to stay”
+1
