[Verse 1] (a capella)
C CM7
Ring the alarm and call both our fathers
C7 F
I'll take the blame if you start to cry
F C
One more broken heart won't make this life this harder
D G
Lord knows you can't say I don't try
C CM7
So feel my lungs burst and my rib cage split
C7 F
My broken heart takes just one more hit,
C F
It's not that I don't still worship your fits
D G
I just hate that you know when I lie
[Chorus] (a capella)
C CM7
So I will not ask you where you've been sleeping,
C7 F
And you shouldn't question my smile
F C
We're gonna lose if we try to hold on forever
D G
So please let me hold you for a while
[Instrumental break]
C CM7 C7 F A Dm7 Cm7
[Verse 2]
C CM7
Holding my breath I can't hit the water
C7 F
I never knew how long I could fall
F C
So many missed steps, a babe to the slaughter
D G
I was sure I'd been through it all
C CM7
Oh feel my guard fall watch my legs give in
C7 F
My broken heart starts to lose it again
F C
It's not that I need you, I just can't pretend
D G
that without you I am happy at all
[Chorus]
C CM7
So I will not ask you where you've been sleeping,
C7 F
And you shouldn't question my smile
F C
We're gonna lose if we try to hold on forever
D G
So please let me hold you for a while
[Outro]
C CM7
Oh I will not ask you where you've been sleeping,
C7 F
And you shouldn't question my smile
F C
We're gonna lose if we try to hold on forever
D
So please let me hold you
G
Oh please let me hold you
C CM7 C7 F A Dm7 Cm7 C
Oh for a whillllleeeeeee
