[A#m]And the air was [G#]full
Of [F#]various storms and [Fsus4] [F]saints
Praying in the [A#m]street
As the [D#m]banks began to [Fm]break
And I'm in the [A#m]throes of it
[D#m]Somewhere in the belly of the [Fm]beast
But you took your [A#m]toll on me
So I [D#m]gave myself over [Fm]willingly
Oh, you got a [A#m]hold on me
I don't know [D#m]how I don't just stand outside and [Fm]scream
I am [D#m]teaching myself how to be [Fm]free
[A#m]The monument of a memory
You tear it down in your head
[D#m]Don't make the mountain your enemy
[Fm]Get out, get up there instead
[A#m]You saw the stars out in front of you
Too tempting not to touch
[D#m]But even though it shocked you
[Fm]Something's electric in your blood
[D#m]And people just [C#]untie themselves
[A#m]Uncurling [G#] [D#m]lifelines
If you could just [A#m]forgive [G#]yourself
[A#m]But still you stumble, feet give way
[D#m]Outside the world seems a [Fm]violent place
[A#m]But you had to have him, and so you did
[D#m]Some things you let go in [Fm]order to live
[A#m]While all around you the buildings sway
[D#m]You sing it out loud, who [Fm]made us this way
[A#m]I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
[D#m]Hold on to your heart, [Fm]you'll keep it safe
[F#]Hold on to your [Fm]heart, don't give it [A#m]away
[A#m]You'll find a rooftop to sing from
Or find a hallway to dance
[D#m]You don't need no edge to [Fm]cling from
[D#m]Your heart is [Fm]there, it's in your hands
[A#m]I know it seems like forever
I know it seems like an age
[D#m]But one day this will be [Fm]over
[D#m]I swear it's not so far [Fm]away
[D#m]And people just [C#]untie themselves
[A#m]Uncurling [G#] [D#m]lifelines
If you could just [A#m]forgive [G#]yourself
[A#m]But still you stumble, feet give way
[D#m]Outside the world seems a [Fm]violent place
[A#m]But you had to have him, and so you did
[D#m]Some things you let go in [Fm]order to live
[A#m]While all around you the buildings sway
[D#m]You sing it out loud, who [Fm]made us this way
[A#m]I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
[D#m]Hold on to your heart, [Fm]you'll keep it safe
[F#]Hold on to your [Fm] [A#m]heart
