Tom: Dm
Bb C
You’re a ray of sunshine, nothing but,
F F7
A pair of wings on my back.
Bb C
I’m just a boy on a skateboard,
F F7
With two patches on my kneecap.
Bb C
The brightest stars burn fast,
F F7
Some things were never meant to last (never meant to last).
[Chorus]
Bb C F A Dm
So I’m holding on, to the memories we have,
Bb C
‘Cause I’m sure, I will fuck this thing up,
F A D7
The first chance I have.
Bb Bbm
So I’m holding; I’m holding onto that.
[Verse]
Bb C
Let’s lose our hair together; we don’t care,
C F F7
Hook on my hand, you in stolen underwear.
Bb C
So when our heart is done, heaven’s been,
C F
I’ll still make your heart skip now like you were seventeen.
F7
Two patches on my kneecap.
Bb C
So let’s grow old and ugly, and hate the world,
C F F7
Lord take my youth, but please don’t take my girl (don’t take my girl).
[Chorus]
Bb C F A Dm
So I’m holding on, to the memories we have,
Bb C
‘Cause I’m sure, I will fuck this thing up,
F A D7
The first chance I have.
G Bbm
So I’m holding; holding onto that.
[Bridge]
Bb
We all question love, I say, ‘What for?’,
C
I found a piratess that makes me jaw drop.
F
I’m off tomorrow now for six months, that’s Sod’s Law,
F7
This girl ain’t off the shelf, mate, she’s top drawer.
Bb
Think we’ve had some times? Well, there’s lots more,
C
Keep kissing me, girl, what you stop for?
F
Other girls get me tight lipped, you drop jaw,
F7
Not off the shelf, mate, no, she’s top drawer.
[Chorus]
Bb C F A Dm
I’m holding on, to the memories we have,
Bb C F
‘Cause I’m sure by now, I’d have fucked it up,
A Dm
The first chance I have.
G Bbm
And so I’m holding (holding); I guess I’m holding onto that.
F
Mmm.
