Brace

 
Bb 
I wrote a tune 'bout loving the moon 
                  F 
'Bout two years ago 
              Eb 
And I held it oh so close 
            Ebm 
Only 'cause he told me he loved me so 
Bb 
Soon I could taste his heart 
                                F 
I would break like promises he made 
                 Eb 
And that was my final straw 
         Ebm                      C° 
Waited a year for him to prove me wrong 
 

 
Eb 
Now that same tune hides under 
     F 
The pillows of my bedroom 
        Bb 
And I dream 
            Dm 
But they're all about you 
    Eb 
Oh, maybe I might 
        Ebm 
Finally get it right 
 

 
Bb               Dm 
I'm not one for myths 
                Eb 
But I remember this: the climb of Sisyphus 
      Ebm 
When you're the sun, I'm Icarus 
    Bb 
And oh 
                      Dm 
I'll tell you what I know 
                     Eb 
Your hug feels like home 
              Eb 
Take back these high school nerves 
   Ebm                                     Bb 
My fingers crossed as I'm bracing for the worst 
Dm  Eb     Ebm              Bb 
Oh, oh I'm bracing for the worst 
Dm  Eb  Ebm 
Oh, oh 
 

 
Bb 
Here comes the sun 
    Bb 
You say I'm the one 
                    F 
Who makes you feel good 
                  Eb 
But I've heard it all before 
                 Ebm 
Learned to stay quiet; never ask for more 
Bb 
Heel in the soil 
                                 F 
I feel so spoiled here in your warmth 
                 Eb 
So I turned you into song 
                       Ebm 
'Cause there's nothing else I wish could last this long 
 

 
Eb 
I know if I close my eyes 
     F 
The fantasy will surely die 
     Bb 
And maybe 
          Dm 
You're a curse in disguise 
        Eb 
Who'll leave when I might 
         Ebm 
Finally feel alright 
 

 
Bb               Dm 
I'm not one for myths 
                Eb 
But I remember this: the climb of Sisyphus 
      Ebm 
When you're the sun, I'm Icarus 
    Bb 
And oh 
                      Dm 
I'll tell you what I know 
                     Eb 
Your hug feels like home 
              Eb 
Take back these high school nerves 
   Ebm                                     Bb 
My fingers crossed as I'm bracing for the worst 
Dm  Eb     Ebm              Bb 
Oh, oh I'm bracing for the worst 
Dm  Eb 
Oh, oh 
 

 
Ebm               Bb 
Wish you were my first love 
Dm     Eb  Ebm 
First love 

Ebm Bb Dm Eb Ebm 
Hmm 

Eb                        F 
Maybe if I took a single second to step back 
              Bb             Dm            Eb 
From all the fables I'd make you one of my own 
Eb 
Will I still be beating by 
     F 
The off-chance of you leaving? 
         Bb                Dm              Eb 
This is something I'm not brave enough to know 

'Cause 
 

 
Bb               Dm 
I'm not one for myths 
                Eb 
But I remember this: the climb of Sisyphus 
      Ebm 
When you're the sun, I'm Icarus 
    Bb 
And oh 
                      Dm 
I'll tell you what I know 
                     Eb 
Your hug feels like home 
              Eb 
Take back these high school nerves 
   Ebm                                      Bb 
My fingers crossed as I'm bracing for the worst 
Dm  Eb      Ebm             Bb 
Oh, oh I'm bracing for the worst 
Dm  Eb 
Oh, oh
