[Intro]
Em C G D (2x)
[Verse 1]
Em C G D
I trace a never-ending picture with a disappearing pen
Em C G D
She said "I see the angel with the synthesizer in her hand
Em D C
What's that supposed to be beside her?
Em D C
Is that supposed to be a man?"
Look, I did the best I can
[Chorus]
D

Hold me still

Love me like
G
You always will
C
Kiss me like you've solved it
Am C D
Kiss me like you solved it
Em C G D (2x)
[Verse 2]
Em C G D
You left me bluer than your bracelets in the motel bath
Em C G D
And when you said "I loved you," well I had to laugh
Em D C
Because what was that?
Em C G D
Now it's raining on the ocean every time you send your best
Em C G D
It feels like someone forcing open an umbrella in my chest
Em D C
Now there really ain't no use
Em D C
To talk anymore
It's raining on the ocean
It's raining on the shore
[Chorus]
D
Hold me down

Hold me still

Love me like
G
You always will
C
Kiss me like you've solved it
Am C D
Kiss me like you solved it

[Bridge]
Em C G
C
The lovely explosion
Am
Unfolds its tiny wings
Bb°
And a tiny box
In a giant screen TV
Above the busy bar
D
I clutched my coat
And clenched my heart
And hard to know
G D
That I was younger yesterday
C D
Than I ever guessed before
G
Climbing out of hell
D
On a ponytail
C D
To kick in your back door
G D
And then I slept under our statue
C D
The one in Mercy Park
G D
That I said looks just like you
C D
Even more so when it's dark
Em D C
'Til you refuse to yield
Em D
Your useless sword and shield
G D
And I woke up in the garden
C D
I woke up in the sun (Pause)
G D
I woke up like a
C D
Bullet wakes up from a gun
Em D C
Too late to turn around
Em C D
Ah, hammer down and done
I'm done, I'm done goddamn I'm through
Evangeline, I'll never need another dream of you
[Chorus]
D
Just hold me down
G C G
Hold me still
D
Love me like
G
You always will
C
Kiss me like you've solved it
Am C D
Kiss me like you solved it
Em C G D (3x)

Hold me down
G C G
Hold me still
D
Love me like
G
You always will
D
Hold me down (cast will come)
G C G
Hold me still (from the sky)
D
Love me like (rust and rhyme)
G
You always will (the world will unwind)
D
Hold me down (rust and rhyme)
G
Hold me still (the world will unwind)
D
Hold me down (rust and rhyme)
G
Rust and rhyme
