🎶 Various Storms & Saints

[Bb]And the air was [Db]full
Of [Em]various storms and [Esus4] [D]saints
Praying in the [Bb]street
As the [Eb]banks began to [D#]break
And I'm in the [Bb]throes of it
[Eb]Somewhere in the belly of the [D#]beast
But you took your [Bb]toll on me
So I [Eb]gave myself over [D#]willingly
Oh, you got a [Bb]hold on me
I don't know [Eb]how I don't just stand outside and [D#]scream
I am [Eb]teaching myself how to be [D#]free

[Bb]The monument of a memory
You tear it down in your head
[Eb]Don't make the mountain your enemy
[D#]Get out, get up there instead
[Bb]You saw the stars out in front of you
Too tempting not to touch
[Eb]But even though it shocked you
[D#]Something's electric in your blood

[Eb]And people just [A#]untie themselves
[Bb]Uncurling [Db] [Eb]lifelines
If you could just [Bb]forgive [Db]yourself

[Bb]But still you stumble, feet give way
[Eb]Outside the world seems a [D#]violent place
[Bb]But you had to have him, and so you did
[Eb]Some things you let go in [D#]order to live
[Bb]While all around you the buildings sway
[Eb]You sing it out loud, who [D#]made us this way
[Bb]I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
[Eb]Hold on to your heart, [D#]you'll keep it safe
[Em]Hold on to your [D#]heart, don't give it [Bb]away

[Bb]You'll find a rooftop to sing from
Or find a hallway to dance
[Eb]You don't need no edge to [D#]cling from
[Eb]Your heart is [D#]there, it's in your hands
[Bb]I know it seems like forever
I know it seems like an age
[Eb]But one day this will be [D#]over
[Eb]I swear it's not so far [D#]away

[Eb]And people just [A#]untie themselves
[Bb]Uncurling [Db] [Eb]lifelines
If you could just [Bb]forgive [Db]yourself

[Bb]But still you stumble, feet give way
[Eb]Outside the world seems a [D#]violent place
[Bb]But you had to have him, and so you did
[Eb]Some things you let go in [D#]order to live
[Bb]While all around you the buildings sway
[Eb]You sing it out loud, who [D#]made us this way
[Bb]I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
[Eb]Hold on to your heart, [D#]you'll keep it safe
[Em]Hold on to your [D#] [Bb]heart⠀
