E
Is this danger?
E B
Is this true love?
E A E
Is this something I can hope to know?
E
Is this laughter?
E B
Is this anger?
E A E
Is this a reason to lose control?
[Guitar starts here in original recording]
[Pre-chorus 1]
B C#m A
I have stood on the mountain apex
E B
Waiting for the truth
B C#m A
I have walked a million miles
E B
Just to see what I already knew
[Verse 2]
E
Is this a basket?
E B
Is this my own life?
E A E
Is this container to never use?
E
Is this sadness?
E B
Is this past us?
E A E
Is this a moment we did not choose?
[Pre-chorus 2]
B C#m A
I have walked through the darkest forest
E B
Waiting for inspiration
B C#m A
I have prayed a million hail marys
E B
Just to wait at that godless station
[Chorus]
E A E
I've been holding back on loving you
A E A B
I've been holding back, I've been holding back
E A E
I’ve been holding back on holding you
A E A B
I've been holding back, I've been holding back
[Verse 3]
E
Is this wisdom?
E B
Is this garbage?
E A E
Is this something I can throw away?
E
Is this caution?
E B
Is this springtime?
E A E
Is this a season that will not stay?
[Solo]
[Chorus]
E A E
I've been holding back on loving you
A E A B
I've been holding back, I've been holding back
E A E
I’ve been holding back on holding you
A E A B
I've been holding back, I've been holding back
[Verse 4]
E
Is this over?
E B
Is this my wish?
E A E
Is this a speech that I have never heard?
E
Is this a lion?
E B
Is this a lamb?
E A E
Is this a nature where we can’t be sure?
