[Bm]We keep this love in a [G]photograph [D]We made these memories for [A]ourselves Where our [Bm]eyes are never closing Our [G]hearts are never broken And [D]time’s forever frozen [A]still

So you can [D]keep me Inside the pocket of your [A]ripped jeans Holding me close until our [Bm]eyes meet You won’t ever be [G]alone Wait for me to come [D]home

Loving can [D]heal Loving can [Bm]mend your soul And it’s the [A]only thing that I know, know [G]

And if you [D]hurt me That’s ok baby, only [A]words bleed Inside these pages you just [Bm]hold me And I won’t ever let you [G]go

Wait for me to come [Bm]home Wait for me to come [G]home Wait for me to come [D]home Wait for me to come [A]home

Or you can [D]fit me Inside the necklace you got when you were [A]sixteen Next to your heart beat where I [Bm]should be Keep it deep within your [G]soul

And if you [D]hurt me Well that’s ok baby, only [A]words bleed Inside these pages you just [Bm]hold me And I won’t ever let you [G]go

And when I’m [D]away I will remember how you [A]kissed me Under the lamppost back on [Bm]sixth Street Hearing you whisper through the [G]phone Wait for me to come [D]home
