Intro: Am  C  F  (4x) 

Verse 1 

Am                      C                         F 
   Pull it out, turn it up, what's your favorite song? 
Am                          C                        F 
   That's mine, I've been crying to it since I was young 
Am                              C                        F 
   I know there's someone out there feeling just like I feel 
                              G 
   I know they're waiting up, I know they're waiting to heal 
Am                            C 
   And I've been holding my breath 
                          F 
   Are you holding your breath 
    G                            C     G 
   For too many years to count? 
                       Am        F 
   Too many years to count 




Am          C     F        G 
   And we waited for the sirens that never come 
Am         C                 F 
   And we only write by the moon 
     G 
   Every word handwritten 
Am         C                 F 
   And to ease the loss of youth 
            G                      Am 
   And how many years I've missed you 
     C              F 
   Pages plead forgiveness 
     G 
   Every word handwritten  
  

Am   C   F  (2x) 


Verse 2  

Am                    C                      F 
   Let it out, let me in, take a hold of my hand 
Am                               C                           F 
   There's nothing like another soul that's been cut up the same 
Am                            C                    F 
   And did you want to drive without a word in between? 
              G                              Am 
   I can understand, you need a minute to breathe 
                       C          F         G      C               
   And to sew up the seams after all this defeat 
G                   Am      F 
   All this defeat 




Am          C     F        G 
   And we waited for the sirens that never come 
Am         C                 F 
   And we only write by the moon 
     G 
   Every word handwritten 
Am         C                 F 
   And to ease the loss of youth 
            G                      Am 
   And how many years I've missed you 
     C              F 
   Pages plead forgiveness 
     G 
   Every word handwritten  


Bridge/Outro C Am  G  F  (2x) 

C               Am        G            F 
   Here in the dark, I cherish the moonlight 
C          Am            G             F             C 
   I'm in love with the way you're in love with the night 
            Am           G       F       C    Am    G    F 
   And it travels from heart to limb to pen 

C                 G                         Am 
   And we waited for the sirens that never come 
                             F 
   And we only write by the moon
