[Verse]
Dm7 C
Have you ever held something until you hands were aching?
F C Dm7 C
And then let it go and watched it fall and listened to it breaking?
Am C Am C
I have held back time and tide when all the world was plenty
Am C F
But now my hands are open wide, open wide and empty
[Verse]
C Dm7 C
For every breath that leaves me now, another comes to fill me
F C Dm7 C
And for every death that grieves me now, the next will surely kill me
Am C Am C
For those borders crumble every day, the faultlines are showing
Am C F
And all I thought was here to stay slowly is going
[Verse]
C Dm7 C
History abandons us and we're holding on, holding on
F C Dm7 C
To nothing but dirt and dust, we're holding on, holding on
Am C Am C
While those borders crumble every day, the faultlines are showing
Am C F
And all I thought was here to stay slowly is going
