                 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
