[Intro – humming, airy falsetto]
Mmm… mmm… (yeah)
---
[Verse 1 – breath-heavy, low chest]
[Dmaj7] You hit my phone at 4 a.m.,
[breathy, slight fry]
[F#m7] Said you didn’t wanna bother…
Bm7 But the way your voice was breaking
[falsetto flip on “break”]
Em7 Made me wish I tried a little harder.
[Dmaj7] I’ve been floating in the silence,
F#m7 Letting memories do the talking…
Bm7 Every time I swear I’m fine,
Em7 Your shadow follows where I’m walking. (mmm)
---
[Pre-Chorus – soft falsetto lift]
[Gmaj7] I don’t blame you for the distance,
[F#m7] You were looking for escape…
[Em7] But every time you pull away,
[Aadd9] It feels like losing you again. (yeah)
---
[Chorus – floaty falsetto, gentle cracks]
[Dmaj7] So come through,
[falsetto glide]
[Bm7] Even if it’s just to fade my name…
[F#m7] I’ll hold you,
[chest, warm]
[Gmaj7] Even if it’s only while you change. (oh)
[Aadd9] If you
[Dmaj7] Need a place to lay your hurricane—
[Bm7] Then come through…
[F#m7] I’ll be here anyway.
Gmaj7 [Aadd9]

[Verse 2 – shakier breath, airy delivery]
[Dmaj7] You said you’re scared of getting older,
[F#m7] Scared the world keeps getting colder…
[Bm7] Baby, I’ve been losing sleep
[Em7] Trying not to show my own hurt.
[Dmaj7] We keep missing all the moments,
[F#m7] Letting chances fall to rust…
[Bm7] If your heart is still uncertain,
[Em7] You can lean it against us. (yeah)
---
[Pre-Chorus – slight growl on low notes]
[Gmaj7] I don’t need you to be steady,
[F#m7] I don’t need a perfect plan…
[Em7] Just come through the way you are
[Aadd9] And leave when you can.
---
[Chorus – doubled falsetto optional]
[Dmaj7] So come through,
[Bm7] Even if it’s just to fade my name…
[F#m7] I’ll hold you,
[Gmaj7] Even if it’s only while you change.
[Aadd9] If you
[Dmaj7] Need a place to lay your hurricane—
[Bm7] Then come through…
[F#m7] I’ll be here anyway. (mmm)
---
[Bridge – whispered, ghostlike]
[Bm] I don’t wanna chase you,
[Gmaj7] I don’t wanna keep you…
[Dmaj7] But damn, it gets lonely
[Aadd9] Knowing love can’t free you.
[Bm] If all we get are pieces,
[Gmaj7] If all we share is pain—
[Dmaj7] I’ll take whatever pieces
[Aadd9] Still remember my name. (yeah)
---
[Final Chorus – cracked falsetto end]
[Dmaj7] So come through,
[falsetto]
[Bm7] Even if you’re drifting while you stay…
[F#m7] I’ll hold you,
[Gmaj7] Even if it’s only for a day.
[Aadd9] If you
[Dmaj7] Need a place to lay your hurricane—
[Bm7] Then come through…
[F#m7] I’ll fade with you
[Gmaj7] anyway. (mmm)
