D Bm
How long do I hold on'
D G D
Here, wearing this dress,
G Bm
Though my hair is a mess,
G D Bm G
I'm hoping you'll see the distance in me.
D G D
Here, faced with the ice,
G Bm
The cold of the sky
G D Bm G
Freezing its way through the heart of the day.
D G Bm
You, neutral scene,
D G Bm
Turn colour down
D G Bm
Till I'm, I'm porcelain
D G Bm
And cracking now.
D G Bm
Here, treading ground that I know,
G Bm
Bare over stone,
G D Bm G
The circles I form on the landscapes are drawn,
G D Bm G
Matching my mind in their endless design.
D G Bm
No, the pain's not your fault.
G D Bm G
You can't rub it in, it was born on my skin.
D G Bm
You, silent thing,
D G Bm
Turn colour down
D G Bm
Till I'm, I'm porcelain
D G Bm
And cracking now.
D G D
How long do I hold on'
G D Bm G
Wearing this dress I'm still holding my breath.
D G D
How long do I hold on'
G D Bm G
Can you give me the faith to be heartless and brave'
D G Bm
You, silent thing,
D G Bm
Turn colour down
D G Bm
Till I'm, I'm porcelain
D G Bm
And cracking now.
