• Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1: (a capella)

C                  CM7
Ring the alarm and call both our fathers
C7                       F
  I'll take the blame if you start to cry
    F                       C
One more broken heart won't make this life this harder
     D                           G
Lord knows you can't say I don't try

   C                         CM7
So feel my lungs burst and my rib cage split
C7                          F
  My broken heart takes just one more hit,
     C                      F
It's not that I don't still worship your fits
       D                         G
I just hate that you know when I lie

Chorus: (a capella)

   C                 CM7
So I will not ask you where you've been sleeping,
    C7                        F
And you shouldn't question my smile
            F                 C
We're gonna lose if we try to hold on forever
   D                            G
So please let me hold you for a while

Verse 2:

C                   CM7
Holding my breath I can't hit the water
C7                 F
  I never knew how long I could fall
   F                    C
So many missed steps, a babe to the slaughter
      D                            G
I was sure I'd been through it all

   C                          CM7
Oh feel my guard fall watch my legs give in
C7                          F
  My broken heart starts to lose it again
     F                      C
It's not that I need you, I just can't pretend
        D                         G
that without you I am happy at all


Chorus:

   C                 CM7
So I will not ask you where you've been sleeping,
    C7                        F
And you shouldn't question my smile
            F                 C
We're gonna lose if we try to hold on forever
   D                            G
So please let me hold you for a while


Outro:

   C                 CM7
Oh I will not ask you where you've been sleeping,
    C7                        F
And you shouldn't question my smile
            F                 C
We're gonna lose if we try to hold on forever
   D
So please let me hold you
   G
Oh please let me hold you
         C  CM7  C7  F A Dm7  Cm7 C
