Intro
| Fm C# | G# D# | 4x
[Verse 1]
A# F
Staring at the bottom and the memories of long ago
A# F
Try to pull yourself up loose that all time low
A#
Still it wants to bring you down
F
Wants to steal your crown
A# F
Try to wrap it up and just give it all some place to go
[Chorus]
Fm
Staring at a photograph
C#
Of everything we used to have
G# D#
And memories of long ago
Fm C# G# D#
Hard to shake them now, hard to shake them now
Fm
Looking back at the past
C#
And why we couldn't make it last
G# D#
And why you ever had to go
Fm C# G# D#
Hard to take it now, hard to shake it now
A#
It holds on
[Verse 2]
F
Somewhere down the road and the things you learned along the way
A# F
All you won and lost, and all you had to pay
A#
Still it wants to turn you round
F
Wants to steal your ground
A# F
Try to wrap it up and somehow just put it all away
[Chorus]
