♫ Verse :

Ab                         Bb
Nose to nose I hold you so close in the moment
         Ab                       Bb
Though I know I feel it slipping away
Ab                            Bb
I told you to shut your mouth when you started talking
Ab                  Bb
About passing years passing days
Ab                          Bb
I've been having visions of you as a baby
      Ab                      Bb
Maybe part of it is all in my head
Ab                         Bb
I don't think I understand time as a line
         Ab                           Bb
I wasn't meant to live it like this I guess
    Bb                          Ab
And I don't know how you people do it
Bb                             Ab
See it all without the urge to fall right through it

♫ Interlude:

Eb Ab Bb


♫ Verse 2:

Ab                      Bb                      Ab               Bb
Crack open a photo book sit alone at 20 and look for a sign that I was there
Ab                         Bb
Staring to the ceiling and contemplate the feeling
   Ab               Bb
Of total obsoletion dust and despair


♫ Chorus:

        C            Bb
And yet I can't stop trying
        C                           Bb
To hold every beautiful thing in my hands
  C                              Bb
I suck the pulp until I choke on what was never meant to last
    C                                 Bb
And still I hope, although I know I’m never gonna get it all back


♫ Interlude:

Ab Bb Ab Bb


♫ Verse 3:

Ab                   Bb
I feel limited in my constant sensitivity
Ab                  Bb
To what I know will hurt me soon
Ab                       Bb
Every day I spend in the sun I waste thinking of
Ab                       Bb
What will come when it’s time for the moon
Ab                      Bb
If I have to love you I don't know how to do it
        Ab             Bb
Without holding on too tight
Bb                                  Ab
And I don't want to leave you but I might
Bb                              Ab
Only 'cause I don't know how to do this right


♫ Chorus 2:

        C            Bb
And yet I can't stop trying
        C                           Bb
To hold every beautiful thing in my hands
  C                              Bb
I suck the pulp until I choke on what was never meant to last
    C                                 Bb
And still I hope, although I know I’m never gonna get it all back


Coda:

         Bb
Oh, just hold me
              C
Tell me I can hold it all too
Bb
Tell me something small
             C
Lie so I can make it through
Bb
Tell me there’s another side
    C
And I’ll be with it again
Bb                        C
Fake omnipotence so I can crawl back into bed
