Capo 1
[Am]And the air was [G]full
Of [F]various storms and [Esus4] [E]saints
Praying in the [Am]street
As the [Dm]banks began to [Em]break
And I'm in the [Am]throes of it
[Dm]Somewhere in the belly of the [Em]beast
But you took your [Am]toll on me
So I [Dm]gave myself over [Em]willingly
Oh, you got a [Am]hold on me
I don't know [Dm]how I don't just stand outside and [Em]scream
I am [Dm]teaching myself how to be [Em]free
[Am]The monument of a memory
You tear it down in your head
[Dm]Don't make the mountain your enemy
[Em]Get out, get up there instead
[Am]You saw the stars out in front of you
Too tempting not to touch
[Dm]But even though it shocked you
[Em]Something's electric in your blood
[Dm]And people just [C]untie themselves
[Am]Uncurling [G] [Dm]lifelines
If you could just [Am]forgive [G]yourself
[Am]But still you stumble, feet give way
[Dm]Outside the world seems a [Em]violent place
[Am]But you had to have him, and so you did
[Dm]Some things you let go in [Em]order to live
[Am]While all around you the buildings sway
[Dm]You sing it out loud, who [Em]made us this way
[Am]I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
[Dm]Hold on to your heart, [Em]you'll keep it safe
[F]Hold on to your [Em]heart, don't give it [Am]away
[Am]You'll find a rooftop to sing from
Or find a hallway to dance
[Dm]You don't need no edge to [Em]cling from
[Dm]Your heart is [Em]there, it's in your hands
[Am]I know it seems like forever
I know it seems like an age
[Dm]But one day this will be [Em]over
[Dm]I swear it's not so far [Em]away
[Dm]And people just [C]untie themselves
[Am]Uncurling [G] [Dm]lifelines
If you could just [Am]forgive [G]yourself
[Am]But still you stumble, feet give way
[Dm]Outside the world seems a [Em]violent place
[Am]But you had to have him, and so you did
[Dm]Some things you let go in [Em]order to live
[Am]While all around you the buildings sway
[Dm]You sing it out loud, who [Em]made us this way
[Am]I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
[Dm]Hold on to your heart, [Em]you'll keep it safe
[F]Hold on to your [Em] [Am]heart
