E, C


(Verse 1)

C                               
Hold me close. I know it’s freezing. 
C
Toes are numb. The sun is bleeding 
Am                                     C
through the broken blinds in your free house. 
C
Oh, I know it’s moved so quickly. 
C
The floor - it shook, you fell into me. 
Am                             C
Every moment makes me lose my breath.


(Chorus)

  Am       F            C
So hold me close in the back room of your house. 
Am             F             C
 My lips won’t be the same again. 
               Am      F             C
Well, you can take the heart that is beating from my chest 
            F        G                C
and you can take the memories from my head.


(Verse 2)
   C
As we awoke beside each other, 
     C
our innocence, it fell asunder 
    Am                             C
and I would see that light go out again. 
     C
Were we too young to not see clearly 
    C
or old enough to finally keep 
Am                             C  
the whole world outside of our heads?


(Chorus)

  Am       F            C
So hold me close in the back room of your house. 
Am             F             C
 My lips won’t be the same again. 
               Am      F             C
Well, you can take the heart that is beating from my chest 
              F          G             C
and you will free the memories from my head.

(Outro)

Am                F                    C
    You’re not a failure, you’re not a martyr, 
                                  Am
you’re not the only one lost at sea. 
           F                       C
I have seen things that made me stronger 
                                     Am
and I have felt the shore pining for me. 
      F         C      
Did I want this? 
      G         Am
Did I need this? 
        F                    C     G
I’m the one who felt lost at sea. Oh, 
             Am            F
we’re either lovers or ex-lovers. 
     C
We cannot escape each other. 
Am              F          C (let ring)
