verse 1: Do intro chords (Plucking)
E A C#m A
The first time we met it felt like fireworks
E A C#m A
The perks of the Midwest now've suddenly changed
E A
The whole world passes by on a string I am tied
C#m A
You're holding the can on the opposite side
E
Now lets open the door
A
Take a breath of fresh air
C#m Badd9(strum once)
That summer was kind to us both
A(strum once) Am
Now its time to be strong
A E C#m Badd9
You came to me opened your heart as we said hello
A E C#m Badd9
A year has passed and now you're gone, I begged you not to go
A E C#m Badd9
You said to me there's nothing here for me to hold on to
A Badd9
So darling let me be the one that holds on to you

verse 2: Strumming
E A C#m A
No matter how many times I say you're beautiful
E A C#m A
You'll act as if I'm telling a lie
E A
All the phone calls we've made left us frail its a shame
C#m A
Like two papers hearts riding on a paper train
E A
Red-eye flights, summer drives, shooting stars in the sky
C#m Badd9 A Am
Is it enough to suffice, if you can't even trust me?
A E C#m Badd9
You came to me opened your heart as we said hello
A E C#m Badd9
A year has passed and now you're gone, I begged you not to go
A E C#m Badd9
You said to me there's nothing here for me to hold on to
A Badd9
So darling let me be the one that holds on to you
Bridge: E - A (2x)
E A
Where has our love gone now that we're apart
E A Badd9 A
Is it lying dormant or is it just hiding in the darkest depths of our hearts
C#m Badd9 A
There is nothing that I need to prove
C#m(strum once) Badd9(strum once)
I've done, all that I can,
A Am
to get through to you
A E C#m Badd9
You came to me opened your heart as we said hello
A E C#m Badd9
A year has passed and now you're gone, I begged you not to go
A E C#m Badd9
You said to me there's nothing here for me to hold on to
A Badd9
So darling let me be the one...
A Badd9
So darling let me be the one...
A Badd9
So darling let me be the one that holds on to you
