Intro E C
verse 1
C
Hold me close. I know it’s freezing.
C
Toes are numb. The sun is bleeding
Am C
through the broken blinds in your free house.
C
Oh, I know it’s moved so quickly.
C
The floor - it shook, you fell into me.
Am C
Every moment makes me lose my breath.
Am F C
So hold me close in the back room of your house.
Am F C
My lips won’t be the same again.
Am F C
Well, you can take the heart that is beating from my chest
F G C
and you can take the memories from my head.
verse 2
C
As we awoke beside each other,
C
our innocence, it fell asunder
Am C
and I would see that light go out again.
C
Were we too young to not see clearly
C
or old enough to finally keep
Am C
the whole world outside of our heads?
Am F C
So hold me close in the back room of your house.
Am F C
My lips won’t be the same again.
Am F C
Well, you can take the heart that is beating from my chest
F G C
and you will free the memories from my head.

Outro
Am F C
You’re not a failure, you’re not a martyr,
Am
you’re not the only one lost at sea.
F C
I have seen things that made me stronger
Am
and I have felt the shore pining for me.
F C
Did I want this?
G Am
Did I need this?
F C G
I’m the one who felt lost at sea. Oh,
Am F
we’re either lovers or ex-lovers.
C
We cannot escape each other.
