Key: F

🎸 Verse 1:
Dm                C
Searching through snow
        Gm            F
For the javelin I had not
         G              G7
Meant to throw right at you
Gm                    A
For if it had hit its mark
           Bb           F
There’d be blood in the place
          Gm
Where you stood


🎸 Chorus: 
                F
It's a terrible thought
   C        G
To have and hold
                F
It's a terrible thought
   C        G
To have and hold

🎸 Interlude: 
F Bb


🎸 Verse 2:
F                       C
So here we stand in the dark
        Bb                F
My eyes travelling to the spot
            G
Where you'd thrown yourself
         G7    Gm
Over the rocks
                         A
For if you'd not been so fast
           Bb           F
There'd be blood in the place
          Bb
Where you stood


🎸 Chorus: 
                F
It's a terrible thought
   C        G
To have and hold
                F
It's a terrible thought
   C        G
To have and hold
                F
It's a terrible thought
   C        G
To have and hold


🎸 Outro: 
Bb F Gm F
