[Intro]
D G A D Em G A D
 
[Verse 1]
D G
There's a place where I have gone
Em A Em
I'd never wish on anyone
G A
I hurts to remember.
D G
And I stayed away so long
Em A Em
I lost the willpower to return
G A
That day in September.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
D Bm Em A
When you don't know where you're going when you're going.
D Bm Em A
And you don't know how you've been or where you've been.
D Bm Em A Em
And when you're sad and you're scared and you're broken,
A N.C.
Will you give in?
 
[Verse 2]
D G
Now I see your very soul.
Bm A Em
No one has complete control.
G A
But some more than others.
D G
And he who tries to hold his breath
Em A Em
And nurse some extra alphabet
G A
Eventually smothers.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
D Bm Em7 A
When you don't know where you're going when you're going.

And you don't know how you've been or where you've been.
D Bm Em7 A Em
And when you're sad and you're scared and you're broken,
A N.C.
Will you give in?

Hold on.

Hold on.
 
[Bridge]

And you can rectify your past.
G A D
You can change and make it last.

But it's so easy to deny.

Oh why, you better believe it.
A
Because you've got to believe in holding on.
 
[Verse 3]
D G
You can try and find someone
Em A Em
Who'll put you back how you belong.

Hell, I tried it too.

Before you live with someone else

You've got to reach inside yourself.

It's all up to you.

When you don't know where you're going when you're going.

And all your dreamshave been lost or been stolen,
A N.C.
Will you give in?

Hold on.
