[Intro]
Em Em7 A5 Cmaj7 x2
[Verse 1]
Em
Funny how it disappears
Em7
The second you give in
A5
When the world comes to terms
Cmaj7
With the way that it spins
Em
Funny how you rearrange
Em7
How your mind begins to change
A5
Hold yourself a little tighter
Cmaj7
In the arms of your old age
Em
And when nothing else is working
Em7
And the air is getting thin
A5
I will hold on like the first time
Cmaj7
Feel a pulse beneath my skin
[Chorus]
Em Em7
I can feel it
A5 Cmaj7
I know it's true
Em Em7 A5 Cmaj7
I can't heal what I hold on to
Em Em7 A5 Cmaj7
[Verse 2]
Em
I wish that I could make the promise
Em7
I am this and nothing more
A5
But there's holiness in finding
Cmaj7
I was something else before
Em
And I held my head in water
Em7
Like I wasn't scared to drown
A5
Like I knew when it was over
Cmaj7
I'd be finished looking down
Em
Am I someone you believe in?
Em7
Can I trust what I can't see?
A5
I'm still alive and breathing
Cmaj7
You won't take the rest of me
[Chorus]
Em Em7
I can feel it
A5 Cmaj7
I know it's true
Em Em7 A5 Cmaj7
I can't heal what I hold on to
Em Em7 A5 Cmaj7
[Bridge 1]
Em
Give me a minute
Em7
I need another quiet day
A5 Cmaj7
My hands are shaking in the worst way
Em
Give me a minute or two
Em7
Maybe a year would be enough
A5 Cmaj7
I'm still deciding if it's worth it
Cmaj7
For all this stuff
Em Em7 A5 Cmaj7
[Chorus]
Em Em7
I can feel it
A5 Cmaj7
I know it's true
Em Em7 A5 Cmaj7
I can't heal what I hold on to
Em Em7 A5 Cmaj7
[Bridge 2]
Em
Give me a minute or two
Em7
Maybe a year would be enough
A5 Cmaj7
I'm still deciding if it's worth it
Cmaj7 Em
