The Keys

Intro 
 D# Fm G# 

 
                   D# 
 I was more than a project 
                       G# 
 Just some pieces of rubble 
                         Cm 
 Some things you can't polish 
 Cm 
 It's better demolished 
                   G# 
 Just too much trouble 
                  D# 
 But you saw my state 
                          G# 
 Wrote your name on the pavement 
                           Cm 
 Then you rolled up your sleeves 
   Cm 
 Decided I was worth keepin' 
                    G# 
 Something worth savin'  


  A#                  Cm  G# 
 Four walls with no ceiling 
                                 Fm 
 And even though the paint was peelin' 
   Fm                           A# 
 But you saw home to put your heart in 


 
                      D#               A# 
 It took a woman like you to see a wreckage 
                    G# 
 And know what to salvage 
            Cm               A# 
 You never let me go, never let me go 
                       D#         A# 
 It took a woman like you to imagine 
    A#             G# 
 Beauty in the damage 
  G#            Cm                  A# 
 So I'll never let you go, never let you go 

{Post Chorus} 
      Cm         A#                 G# 
 Only you could build a man like me 
                              D#  Fm G# 
 And that's why you hold the keys 
 

 
                        D# 
 You saw white picket fences 
                         G# 
 Heard the birds in the morning 
                   Cm 
 Saw what I could become 
 Cm 
 I could only see mud 
     A#           G# 
 But you saw a garden 

                       A# 
 Even though it was hopeless, broken 
  A#         Cm             G# 
 I was the road that you chose 
                    Fm 
 You took all the dirt and the boulders 
        D#                  A# 
 And made us a sight to behold 
 

 
                      D#              A# 
 It took a woman like you to see a wreckage 
  A#                   G# 
 And know what to salvage 
  G#          Cm               A# 
 You never let me go, never let me go 

                      D#          A# 
 It took a woman like you to imagine 
  A#               G# 
 Beauty in the damage 
  G#             Cm                 A# 
 So I'll never let you go, never let you go 
 

  
       Cm         A#        Gm       G# 
 Only you could build a man like me 
                              D# Fm G# 
 And that's why you hold the keys 
                              D# Fm G# 
 Oh, that's why you hold the keys 
 

 
     A#                              Cm 
 Oh, you held on, you built me up strong 
          G# 
 But it's my turn now (But it's my turn now) 
      Cm                A# 
 Just know that you're safe in this place 
             Cm              G# 
 No raging fire will ever burn us down  


              A#                      Cm 
 When I was just four walls with no ceiling 
   G#                            Fm 
 And even though the paint was peelin' 
   Fm       D#              A# 
 You saw home to put your heart in 


 
                          D#               A# 
 Oh, it took a woman like you to see a wreckage 
                    G# 
 And know what to salvage 
                  Cm                 A# 
 Yeah, you never let me go, never let me go 
                       D#         A# 
 It took a woman like you to imagine 
                  G# 
 Beauty in the damage 
           Cm                       A# 
 So I'll never let you go, never let you go
