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