     C     G 
Hold on....

Hold on.... 

(verse 1) 
    C         G            F     G 
I'm trying to transfer affection, 
C         G            F     G 
Trying to feel factor four. 
C         G            F      G 
Trying to change my direction, 
C             G          F     G 
To go where I once was before. 

(bridge) 
Em                                F 
  Don't try to tell me now that I'm out here on my own; 
Em                            D 
  And there's no way to carry on. 
Em                                  F 
  Don't try to tell me that there's nothing left to hide; 
G 
Nothing inside. 

(verse 2) 
I'm trying to break all connections, 
Burning a hole in my heart. 
Trying to transfer affection 
Is starting to tear me apart. 

(Instrumental break 2x) C G C G F G F G 

(bridge) 

(verse 3) 

I'm tired, but then on reflection, 
It's so hard to open my eyes; 
To try reaching out for affection, 
It's so hard to break the disguise.
