Tom: Em
Em
I don't wanna be the one to
G
Take it on and break this one to you
D C
But I know he's not the one to keep you warm
[Verse 1]
Em
'Cause I
I will always be the one to
G
Hold you close and see the storms you
D
Are heading towards
C
I cannot watch this go no more
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Been keeping you close
Been keeping you close
G
No matter how hard I try to ignore
D
I'm staying bound to you
C
I'm staying bound to you

Been keeping you close
Been keeping you close
G

D
I'm solid ground for ya
C
I'm solid ground for ya
[Chorus]
Em
And I
G
I can never let you go
D
I can't bear you hurt no more
C Em
Feel you always reaching out for me
G
I can never let you go
D
Know we tried to burn it off
C
But I'm always reaching out for you
Em
You keep me crawling
G
Crawling
D
Crawling
C
On the ground
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Em
Fake smiles
G
I can see you feigning from a hundred miles
D
I can see tears draining from your honest eyes
C
You go "I'm fine", but we know you're lying
Em
And you're trying to be feeling all the feelings you're supposed to
G
Feel but I'm spinning you within like a coaster
D
Yeah my eye's reading in between
All the things you think are unseen
C
It's a weird thing
I'm feeling
You reaching
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Been keeping you close
Been keeping you close
G
No matter how hard you try to ignore
D
I'm solid ground for ya
C
I'm solid ground for ya
[Chorus]
Em
And I
G
I can never let you go
D

Crawling
C
On the ground
[Bridge]
Sometimes
Em
I'm asking myself "Why do I stay?"
G
I'm asking myself "Will you one day
D C
Lift me up, lift me up or is all vain?"
Em
'Cause you keep me crawling
G
Crawling

Crawling

On the ground
[Ending]
Sometimes
Em
I'm asking myself "Why do I stay?"

I'm asking myself "Will you one day
D C
Lift me up, lift me up or is all vain?"
