As recorded by JOSEPH
(From the 2023 Album THE SUN)
 
 
Capo 3rd fret
 
 
[Intro]
D    Gmaj7    D
 
 
[Verse 1]
          G
All these love songs
                     D
Love songs might be no good for me
D
Keep on sellin' the dream
          G
I wonder, how long?
                D
How long will I wait to be happy?
D
All my friends ask me
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G
When am I gonna be settled down?
                       D
Buy a house, stay in town?
D
Like it's easy, like people on TV
G
I don't wanna just settle now
                    D
Put my fire underground
D
Just 'cause it's easy, oh
D
Honey, believe me
 
 
[Chorus]
A                          Bm
I wish I could just flip a switch
    G                              Bm
And just accept your kind of muted bliss
       A                        Bm     G
'Cause I don't wanna be holdin' out forever
           A                   Bm
Oh, and if my type is just fireworks
   G                            Bm
An act of faith, even though it hurts
   A                            Bm     G
To shut that door, am I holdin' out forever?
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
What if I'm wrong?
                       D
Wrong to think there's more to this story
D
My heart pounds and they know me
     G
Am I headstrong?
                                   D
Or foolish every night waiting for lightning to strike
                        A
While you've got blue skies?
 
 
[Chorus]
A
Oh, I wish I could just flip a switch
    G                              Bm
And just accept your kind of muted bliss
       A                        Bm     G
'Cause I don't wanna be holdin' out forever
           A                   Bm
Oh, and if my type is just fireworks
   G                            Bm
An act of faith, even though it hurts
   A                            Bm     G
To shut that door, am I holdin' out forever?
G
Am I holdin' out forever?
 
 
[Interlude]
G    D

I don't wanna just settle now
                    D

'Cause I don't wanna be holdin' out forever
           A                   Bm
Oh, and if my type is just fireworks
   G                            Bm
An act of faith, even though it hurts
   A                            Bm     G
To shut that door, am I holdin' out forever?
G
Am I holdin' out forever?
