[Intro]
G Am D C Em
[Verse]
G Am
Is the world we live in all that it's cracked up to be?
D C Em
I mean, beneath the surface, we all have our faults
G Am
Just know that you'll need something sturdy to hold on to
D C G
Or you'll go flying when our times brings your world crashing to a halt
G Am
I think that I'm well grounded, but I also see
D C Em
A lot of empty space where friends of mine once stood
G Am
I know it isn't a conspiracy against me
D C Em
It's just the ground is always shifting underfoot
[Chorus]
C
Whether death or distance comes between
Am
You know exactly what I mean
D G D/F#
There comes a time when everybody leaves
C
And how am I supposed to know
Am
Just who to chase and not let go?
D G D/F# G
My mind is racing, but my feet just move too slow
[Verse]
G Am
And my confidence gets shaky every time I see
D C Em
That growing empty space where friends of mine once stood
G Am
I think that I'm well grounded, but I also see
D C Em
A lot of empty space where friends of mine once stood
G Am
I know it isn't a conspiracy against me
D C Em
It's just the ground is always shifting underfoot
[Chorus]
C
Whether death or distance comes between
Am
You know exactly what I mean
D G D/F#
There comes a time when everybody leaves
C
And how am I supposed to know
Am
Just who to chase and not let go?
D G D/F# C D
My mind is racing, but my feet just move too slow
Em D C D Em D
Oh, they move too slow
[Bridge]
C* D* Em* D*
As I'm broken like the rocks beneath my feet
C* D* Em*
But the same is true for everyone I meet
D*
The shifting plates
C* D* Em* D*
Will carry us wherever they may choose
C* D* Em* D*
But still, the earth could never move me like you do
C* D*
Cause you shape the edges of my life
Em* D*
And all the spots where we collide
C* D* Em* D*
Until stronger forces send us different ways
C* D*
And we might have years or months or days
Em* D**
But I know nothing gold can stay
C** D** Em**
So I hope you hold me close until it's time to go
C* D* Em* D*

One day, you'll leave me here alone
Em*
But I guess nothing's set in stone
C** D** Em**
So I hope you hold me close until it's time to go
