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