E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Verse:
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I wanna tell you I'm sorry, But what’s a couple words?
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Drops in the Pacific between us,
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I wanna tell you I'm sorry, Not that I'd go back
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Just that I miss what it was
Chorus:
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
But I’ve got a bad habit of holding my
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
tongue
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I've got a bad habit of holding my
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Tongue
Bridge:
E minorEm G+G
I woke up bereft, With no poetry left,
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Except that to be found, In sweat stains and coffee
E minorEm G+G
Grounds, What's left of the energy spent
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Keeping my feet nailed down
E minorEm G+G
But life abounds, Light resounds
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
In cathedrals and border towns
E minorEm G+G
And I love you even now
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I love you even now
Chorus:
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
But I got a bad habit
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
And I wanna tell you I'm sorry, You and the other ones
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
But somehow we don't Keep in touch
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I wanna tell you I'm sorry, Look back and laugh and say
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
God, it is so hard, Growing up
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
But I've got a bad habit of holding my tongue
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
But I've got a bad habit of holding my tongue
Bridge:
E minorEm G+G
Weeks like these, I wish we were still speaking
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Are you pleased with the pieces, Of me you’ll be keeping?
E minorEm G+G
You should be, cause life is fleeting
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
And if while we lean toward death, We lock eyes with meaning
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Gleaming and profound, Then we walk on holy ground
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
So I love you even now, I love you even now
Chorus:
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
But I got a bad habit
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I got a bad habit
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I got a bad habit, Of holding my
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
tongue, Of holding my
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Tongue, Of Holding my
