Intro
C# F# C#/A# F# x2
[Verse 1]
C# Gadd9
I was looking down at you smiling underneath
C#/A# F#
For once I held you tight, but shadowed hands grabbed at me
C# Gadd9
You're head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head
C#/A# G#
It's when you needed me, so I listened to what you said
[Pre-chorus]
C#/A# F#
Look another year went by,
C#/F
They keep passing by,
G#
But damn I didn't even die,
C#/A# F#
Too old and slow I've grown,
C#/F G#
I fought time but lost
[Instrumental]
C# Gadd9 C#/A# F#
[Verse 2]
C# Gadd9
It was love like a callus you scarred enough to be
C#/A# F#
Tough and immune, your body adapts you see
C# Gadd9
To all above my head, and all below my feet
C#/A# G#
Know that's one freedom you'll never take from me
[Pre-chorus]
C#/A# F#
Look another year went by,
C#/F
They keep passing by,
G#
But damn I didn't even die,
C#/A# F#
Too old and slow I've grown,
C#/F G#
I fought time but lost
[Chorus]
C# G# C#/F F#
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
C# G# C#/F F#
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear
[Break]
C#/A# Gadd9 C# G#
Hold tight, hold tight
C#/A# Gadd9 C#/F G#
[Chorus]
C# G# C#/F F#
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
C# G# C#/F F#
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear
C# G# C#/F F#
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
C# G# C#/F F#
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear
C# G# C#/F F#
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
C# G# C#/F F#6 F#maj7
Look another year went by, hold tight, hold tight
