D                  Bm 
How long do I hold on' 
D                  Bm 
How long do I hold on' 


D     G             D 
Here, wearing this dress, 
          G          Bm 
Though my hair is a mess, 
     G             D         Bm       G        
I'm hoping you'll see the distance in me. 
D       G             D 
Here, faced with the ice, 
      G          Bm 
The cold of the sky 
G             D               Bm           G 
Freezing its way through the heart of the day. 


D      G       Bm 
You, neutral scene, 
D      G     Bm 
Turn colour down 
          D   G     Bm 
Till I'm, I'm porcelain 
D      G      Bm 
And cracking now. 


D               G             Bm 
Here, treading ground that I know, 
G           Bm 
Bare over stone, 
      G        D             Bm            G   
The circles I form on the landscapes are drawn, 
  G          D             Bm         G   
Matching my mind in their endless design. 
D        G               Bm 
No, the pain's not your fault. 
        G            Bm 
You say I'm made of salt: 
     G           D          Bm          G   
You can't rub it in, it was born on my skin. 


D      G        Bm 
You, silent thing, 
D      G     Bm 
Turn colour down 
          D   G     Bm 
Till I'm, I'm porcelain 
D      G      Bm 
And cracking now. 


D              G   D 
How long do I hold on' 
G              D              Bm         G 
Wearing this dress I'm still holding my breath. 
D              G   D 
How long do I hold on' 
         G           D          Bm            G 
Can you give me the faith to be heartless and brave' 


D      G        Bm 
You, silent thing, 
D      G     Bm 
Turn colour down 
          D   G     Bm 
Till I'm, I'm porcelain 
D      G      Bm 
And cracking now.
