Introduction:
G6 Fm7 Esus4E
And the air was full of various storms and saints
Am Dm Em
Prayed in the streets as the banks began to break
Am Dm Em
And I'm in the throat of it, somewhere in the belly of the beast
Am Dm Em
But you took your toll on me, so I gave myself over willingly
Am Dm Em
You got a hold of me, I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream
Dm Am
I am teaching myself how to be free
Am
The monument of a memory, you tear it down in your head
Dm Em Dm Em
Don't make the mountain your enemy, get out, get up there instead
Am
You saw the stars out in front of you, too tempting not to touch
Dm Em Dm Em Dm
But even though it shocked you, something's electric in your blood (play these as barred chords
to get the studio effect)
C Am G
And people just don't tire themselves, I'm calling life - lost
Dm C G
If you could just forgive yourself
Am
But I see you stumble, feet give way
Dm Em
Outside the world seems a violent place
Am
But you had to have him, and so you did
Dm Em
Some things you let go in order to live
Am
While all around you the buildings sway
Dm Em
Singing our love made us this way
Am
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be ok
Dm Em
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
Dm G Am
Hold on to your heart, don't give it away
Am
You'll find a rooftop to sing from, find a hallway to dance
Dm Em Dm Em
You don't need no edge to climb from, your heart is there, it's in your hands
Am
I know it seems like forever, I know it seems like an age
Dm Em Dm Em Dm
But one day this will be over, I swear it's not so far away
C Am G
And people just don't tire themselves, I'm calling life - lost
Dm C G
If you could just forgive yourself
Am
But I see you stumble, feet give way
Dm Em
Outside the world seems a violent place
Am
But you had to have him, and so you did
Dm Em
Some things you let go in order to live
Am
While all around you the buildings sway
Dm Em
Singing our love made us this way
Am
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be ok
Dm Em
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
Dm Em Am
Hold on to your heart
