[Verse I]
Am G
And the air was full
F Esus4 E
Of various storms and saints
Am
Praying in the street
Dm Em
As the banks began to break
Am
And I'm in the throes of it
Dm Em
Somewhere in the belly of the beast
Am
But you took your toll on me
Dm Em
So I gave myself over willingly
Am
Oh, you got a hold on me
Dm Em
I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream
Dm Em
I am teaching myself how to be free
[Verse II]
Am
The monument of a memory
You tear it down in your head
Dm
Don't make the mountain your enemy
Em
Get out, get up there instead
Am
You saw the stars out in front of you
Too tempting not to touch
Dm
But even though it shocked you
Em
Something's electric in your blood
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C
And people just untie themselves
Am G Dm
Uncurling lifelines
Am G
If you could just forgive yourself
[Chorus]
Am
But still you stumble, feet give way
Dm Em
Outside the world seems a violent place
Am
But you had to have him, and so you did
Dm Em
Some things you let go in order to live
Am
While all around you the buildings sway
Dm Em
You sing it out loud, who made us this way
Am
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
Dm Em
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
F Em Am
Hold on to your heart, don't give it away
[Verse III]
Am
You'll find a rooftop to sing from
Or find a hallway to dance
Dm Em
You don't need no edge to cling from
Dm Em
Your heart is there, it's in your hands
Am
I know it seems like forever
I know it seems like an age
Dm Em
But one day this will be over
Dm Em
I swear it's not so far away
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C
And people just untie themselves
Am G Dm
Uncurling lifelines
Am G
If you could just forgive yourself
[Chorus]
Am
But still you stumble, feet give way
Dm Em
Outside the world seems a violent place
Am
But you had to have him, and so you did
Dm Em
Some things you let go in order to live
Am
While all around you the buildings sway
Dm Em
You sing it out loud, who made us this way
Am
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
Dm Em
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
F Em Am
Hold on to your heart
