View chords used in this chart
[Intro: ]C - Em - Am – G
C Em Am G F
Your voice is adrift, I can't expect it, to sing to me
C F
As if I was the only one, I'll follow you,
C
The leaf that's following the sun,
G
When will my weight be too much for you?
Am G F
When will these ideas really be my own?
C
Cause this moment keeps on moving
G C
We were never meant to hold on
C - Em - Am - G - F
This was a scene worth waking up for
When I woke up, you planted me in my own body
Don't know why but somehow it just feels so wrong
When you're sad I will be lonely
But when you rise again I'll become the sun
I will shine down upon you
As if you were the only one
C - Em - Am - G - F
Your voice is your own, I can't protect it
You'll have to sing a verse no one has ever known
Don't be afraid ‘cause no one ever sings alone
Your way will never be too much for me
Your ideas have always been your own
And this moment keeps on moving
We were never meant to hold on
C - Em - Am - G - F
