Sam Smith — Writing’s On The Wall

Intro: Fmadd9 | Abmaj | Fmadd9 | Abmaj

Fmadd9           Abmaj
I’ve been here before,
Fmadd9              Abmaj
But always hit the floor.
     Dbmaj
I’ve spent a lifetime running
      Csus4
And I always get away,
         Dbmaj
But with you I’m feeling something
     Csus4            C
That makes me want to stay.

Fmadd9           Abmaj
I’m prepared for this,
Fmadd9           Abmaj
I never shoot to miss.
      Dbmaj
But I feel like a storm is coming
       Csus4
If I’m gonna make it through the day.
            Dbmaj
And there’s no more use in running,
        Csus4             C
This is something I gotta face.

 Fm   Eb/G Ab   Dbmaj
   If I risk it all,
 Fm      Eb/G Ab      C7    C-9
   Could you break my fall?

Chorus:
     C7       Fm             Eb6add9
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     Dbmaj            Eb6add9
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    Fm                   Eb6add9
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 Dbmaj                    Cm7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         Bbm7                  Cm7 C7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                 Fmadd9
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.

Instrumental: Fmadd9 | Abmaj

Fmadd9               Abmaj
A million shards of glass
Fmadd9                Abmaj
That haunt me from my past.
       Dbmaj
As the stars begin to gather,
        Csus4           C-9sus4 C7sus4
And the light begins to fade,
         Dbmaj
When all hope begins to shatter,
          Csus4        C
Know that I won’t be afraid.

 Fm   Eb/G Ab   Dbmaj
   If I risk it all,
 Fm      Eb/G Ab      C7    C-9
   Could you break my fall?

Chorus:
     C7       Fm             Eb6add9
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     Dbmaj            Eb6add9
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    Fm                   Eb6add9
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 Dbmaj                    Cm7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         Bbm7                  Cm7 C7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                 Fmadd9 Abmaj
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.
                     Fmadd9     Abmaj
     The writing’s on the wall.
