Intro D G A
[Verso 1]
D
Where is my mind? I've lost the nerve
G
This year flew by without a word
A
I had a plan to cross the world
But haven't left this island
D
The stores closed down and opened up
G
I said I'd do a sober month
A
I failed, but tried and wrote this drunk
In overwhelming silence
Bm A
And I'll see my friends when all this ends
G A D
But now until then, I'm holdin' out for spring
G A D
We can't let winter win, that's why I'm holdin' out for spring
G A D G A
Oh, what a state we're in, I'll keep holdin' out for spring
[Verso 2]
D
Homework and cancelled holidays
G
The blame gets passed to save a face
A
The smell of last night's takeaway
Just tells me I'm a mess
D
Still watchin' shows they recommend
G
That don't get good until the end
A
And I could be unwell, but then again
Maybe I'm just depressed
Bm A
And I'll fix my head when all this ends
G A D
But now until then, I'm holdin' out for spring
G A D
We can't let winter win, that's why I'm holdin' out for spring
G A D
Oh, what a state we're in, I'll keep holdin' out for spring
E
Time, blue skies

Crossed face, slowly
C# B D
Cross my mind to linger

And hope out for spring

A G A
Oh, what a state we're in
