verse 1: Do intro chords (Plucking)
EAC#mA
The first time we met it felt like fireworks
EAC#mA
The perks of the Midwest now've suddenly changed
EA
The whole world passes by on a string I am tied
C#mA
You're holding the can on the opposite side
E
Now lets open the door
A
Take a breath of fresh air
C#mBadd9(strum once)
That summer was kind to us both
A(strum once) Am
Now its time to be strong
AEC#mBadd9
You came to me opened your heart as we said hello
AEC#mBadd9
A year has passed and now you're gone, I begged you not to go
AEC#mBadd9
You said to me there's nothing here for me to hold on to
ABadd9
So darling let me be the one that holds on to you
verse 2: Strumming
EAC#mA
No matter how many times I say you're beautiful
EAC#mA
You'll act as if I'm telling a lie
EA
All the phone calls we've made left us frail its a shame
C#mA
Like two papers hearts riding on a paper train
EA
Red-eye flights, summer drives, shooting stars in the sky
C#mBadd9AAm
Is it enough to suffice, if you can't even trust me?
AEC#mBadd9
You came to me opened your heart as we said hello
AEC#mBadd9
A year has passed and now you're gone, I begged you not to go
AEC#mBadd9
You said to me there's nothing here for me to hold on to
ABadd9
So darling let me be the one that holds on to you
Bridge:E - A (2x)
EA
Where has our love gone now that we're apart
EABadd9A
Is it lying dormant or is it just hiding in the darkest depths of our hearts
C#mBadd9A
There is nothing that I need to prove
C#m(strum once) Badd9(strum once)
I've done, all that I can,
AAm
to get through to you
AEC#mBadd9
You came to me opened your heart as we said hello
AEC#mBadd9
A year has passed and now you're gone, I begged you not to go
AEC#mBadd9
You said to me there's nothing here for me to hold on to
ABadd9
So darling let me be the one...
ABadd9
So darling let me be the one...
ABadd9
So darling let me be the one that holds on to you
