[Intro]
 
D   G   D/B   G   x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
        D                 Gadd9
I was looking down at you smiling underneath
      D/B                          G
For once I held you tight, but shadowed hands grabbed at me
        D                                  Gadd9
You're head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head
D/B                              A
It's when you needed me, so I listened to what you said
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
D/B                        G
  Look another year went by,
            D/F#
They keep passing by,
    A
But damn I didn't even die,
D/B                        G
Too old and slow I've grown,
    D/F#              A
I fought time but lost
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
D   Gadd9   D/B   G
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
        D                      Gadd9
It was love like a callus you scarred enough to be
  D/B                           G
Tough and immune, your body adapts you see
    D                     Gadd9
To all above my head, and all below my feet
D/B                                   A
Know that's one freedom you'll never take from me
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
D/B                      G
  Look another year went by,
             D/F#
They keep passing by,
    A
But damn I didn't even die,
     D/B                 G
Too old and slow I've grown,
    D/F#           A
I fought time but lost
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D                 A    D/F#               G
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
            D                      A     D/F#          G
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear
 
 
[Break]
 
      D/B          Gadd9   D   A
Hold tight, hold tight
 
D/B   Gadd9   D/F#   A
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   D              A         D/F#               G
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
           D                        A     D/F#         G
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear
   D              A         D/F#               G
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
           D                        A     D/F#         G
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear
 
      D                  A              D/F#    G
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
                       D        A            D/F#    G6  Gmaj7
Look another year went by, hold tight, hold tight
