I think that all other versions have some mistakes either in the chords of the bridge or
the Intro-Tabs. So here's what I think is authentic.

[Verse]
G Bm
I'm so tired of being here
G Bm
suppressed by all of my childish fears
G Bm
and if you have to leave - I wish that you could just leave
G Bm
'cause your presence still lingers here - and it won't leave me alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Bm Em
These wounds won't seem to heal
Bm Em
This pain is just too real
Bm D (Em)
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus]
Em C D Bm (Em)
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
Em C D Bm (Em)
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
Em C D Bm (Em)
I held your hand through all of these years
Em C D
But you still have all of me
