Intro: Dsus2 Am/C B7 Am 



Verse I 

Am                 G 
 And the air was full 
   F                  Esus4    E 
Of various storms and saints 
                Am 
Praying in the street 
       Dm                 Em 
As the banks began to break 
               Am 
And I'm in the throes of it 
  Dm                             Em 
Somewhere in the belly of the beast 
                  Am 
But you took your toll on me 
     Dm                      Em 
So I gave myself over willingly 
              Am 
Oh, you got a hold on me 
             Dm                                  Em 
I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream 
     Dm                       Em 
I am teaching myself how to be free 

Verse II 

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 

Pre-Chorus 
Dm                 C 
 And people just untie themselves 
Am             G     Dm 
 Uncurling lifelines 
                     Am          G 
If you could just forgive yourself 


Am 
But still 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 
You sing it out loud, who made us this way 
Am 
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay 
Dm                         Em 
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe 
F                    Em                  Am 
Hold on to your heart, don't give it away 


Verse III 

Am 
You'll find a rooftop to sing from 

Or find a hallway to dance 
Dm                        Em 
You don't need no edge to cling from 
Dm            Em 
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 
But one day this will be over 
Dm                       Em 
I swear it's not so far away 

Pre-Chorus 
Dm                 C 
 And people just untie themselves 
Am             G     Dm 
 Uncurling lifelines 
                     Am          G 
If you could just forgive yourself 

 
Am 
But still 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 
You sing it out loud, who made us this way 
Am 
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay 
Dm                         Em 
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe 
F               Em     Am 
Hold on to your heart
