[Intro]
Am  F  C  C Cadd9
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am                      F                       C       Cadd9
Early in the morning I still get a little bit nervous
Am                    F                    C         Cadd9
Fighting my anxiety constantly I try to control it
Am                            F                         C      Cadd9
Even when I know it’s been forever I can still feel the spin
Am                          F                     C       Cadd9
Hurts when I remember and I never wanna feel it again
 
G                               Em                             F
Don’t know if you get it cause I can’t express how thankful I am
    G                               Em                            F
That you were always with me when it hurts I know that you understand
 
 
[Chorus]
                Am   F      C    G/B
I don’t wanna lose     control
              Am   F      C    G/B
Nothing I can do      anymore
              F                  Am
Trying every day when I hold my breath
                  G                   Em
Spinning out in space pressing on my chest
               Am   F       C    G
I don’t wanna lose     control
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                             F                     C    Cadd9
Sometimes I still think it’s coming but I know it’s not
 Am                            F                     C    Cadd9
Trying to breathe in and then out but the air gets caught
      Am                            F                             C   Cadd9
Cause even though I’m older now and I know how to shake off the past
Am                           F                          C       Cadd9
I wouldn’t have made it if I didn’t have you holding my hand
 
 
[Chorus]
               Am   F       C    G/B
I don’t wanna lose     control
              Am   F      C    G/B
Nothing I can do      anymore
              F                  Am
Trying every day when I hold my breath
                  G                   Em
Spinning out in space pressing on my chest
               Am   F       C    G
I don’t wanna lose     control
 
 
[Bridge]
   F                        Am                           G
I need you to know I would never be this strong without you
                       Em
You’ve seen how I’ve grown you took all my doubt
       Am  F       C    G/B
Cause you    were home
 
 
[Chorus]
               Am   F      C    G/B
I don’t wanna lose     control
              Am   F      C    G/B
Nothing I can do      anymore
               Am   F        C    G/B
I don’t wanna lose     control
              Am   F      C    G/B
Nothing I can do      anymore
              F                  Am
Trying every day when I hold my breath
                     G                   Em
Spinning out in space pressing on my chest
              Am   F        C    G
I don’t wanna lose     control

The Em chord on “Don’t know if you get it cause I can’t express how thankful I am” and the next line I think should be a Am. Sounds better.

The C9 Chord must be played with the open G-String. Otherwise it sounds terrible.😉
