On Our Own

Egyptian


Tom: Em

G          D
Hold on to what we feel
      Em                             D
Don't cheapen those nights 'cause it hurts my ego
    C                           G
And everything else, it can be arranged
   C                 D
To fit the idea that life is changing
G                           D
Take it all back 'cause you love your sister
        Em                      D
And you know that we're all the same
    C                     G
One day your mother was a young man's lover
        C                         D
And she never should've felt that pain


[Chorus]
G                            Bm
Ticket to love , we've got a long road home
Em                                            D
 I've started thinkin' that we've got it all wrong
C                   G
 I can't live like, I can't live like this
C                   D
 I can't live like, I can't live
       G
'Cause this is all we know
       Em             D
We can make it on our own
          C             G
And so we hold tight to what we know
C                        D
 We've got a long night ahead and a long road home


[Verse 2]
G              D
Hold back from what we feel
             Em                    D
'Cause we're really not sure which body is real
C                          G
 And I know the river runs deep
    C                 D
But I can't tell just how many feet
    G                       D
And take it all back if you know you want me
           Em                 D
You should hit your knees and pray
       C                 G
'Cause I don't wanna be another man's lover
      C                     D
And I don't wanna feel this pain


[Chorus]
G                            Bm
Ticket to love , we've got a long road home
Em                                           D
 I've started thinkin' that we've got it all wrong
C                   G
 I can't live like, I can't live like this
C                   D
 I can't live like, I can't live
       G
'Cause this is all we know
       Em             D
We can make it on our own
          C             G
And so we hold tight to what we know
C                        D
 We've got a long night ahead and a long road home


[Bridge]
G                  Bm
Round and round it goes, there's no tellin'
         Em              D
When the sea will make a rose
                      G
It's just a matter of time
                        C
And we'll wait 'til the end of the year
        Em              Am
Just to plan ahead and avoid the tears that
G
Fall and fall and wilt to the ground
            Em
And you can start to till, 'til you have found
         Cm
That our seed has grown and this we'll know
   G              D
We did it all, we did it on our own


[Chorus]
G                           Bm
Ticket to love, we've got a long road home
Em                                           D
 I've started thinkin' that we've got it all wrong
C                   G
 I can't live like, I can't live like this
C                   D
 I can't live like, I can't live
       G
'Cause this is all we know
       Em             D
We can make it on our own
          C             G
And so we hold tight to what we know
C                        D                    G
 We've got a long night ahead and a long road home
