Capo: 2nd fret
[Intro]
D Em C
You said I'm holdin' onto heartache
G D
You said I wear it like a crown
Em
It's gonna drag me down
C G
I'm holdin' onto heartache
D
You should be starin' at the sky
Em
The birds just passin' by, love
[Verse 1]
Am
The windy hell just over
G
We knew that all would change
D
Creates the strangest feelin'
D Am
Just slowly waitin' for the end
I still have dreams about it
G
The moment since they came
D
The moment's never shown to us
D Am
Because we faded into darkness
[Refrain]
G
I can still hear a silence
D Em
I can still hear a clock that's tickin'
[Chorus]
C
You said I'm holdin' onto heartache
G D
You said I wear it like a crown
Em
It's gonna drag me down
C
I'm holdin' onto heartache
G D
You should be starin' at the sky
Em
The birds just passin' by, love
Am G D
Holdin' on to heartache
[Verse 2]
Am
The nights, the changin' seasons
G
Become the strangest days
D
I called you twice, but then regretted it
And changed my number
Am
The questions that I'd ask you
G
Where did it all go wrong?
D
There's endless versions of that thing
Am
That keeps me driftin' back to darkness
[Refrain]
G
I can still hear a silence
D Em
I can still hear a clock that's tickin'
[Chorus]
C
You said I'm holdin' onto heartache
G D
You said I wear it like a crown
Em
It's gonna drag me down
C
I'm holdin' onto heartache
G D
You should be starin' at the sky
Em
The birds just passin' by, love
[Bridge]
G
You know the party's over
D
When you're standin' in an empty space alone
Am
And time can always heal ya
C
If you let it make its way into your bones
G
Nothing's ever easy
D
To be honest, I'm not easy on myself
Am
The second that I see ya
C
The space between us just comes floodin' back
[Chorus]
C
You said I'm holdin' onto heartache
G D
You said I wear it like a crown
Em
It's gonna drag me down
C
I'm holdin' onto heartache
G D
You should be starin' at the sky
Em Am G
The birds just passin' by, love
You said I'm holdin' onto heartache
You said I wear it like a crown
It's gonna drag me down
I'm holdin' onto heartache
You should be starin' at the sky
The birds just passin' by, love
The windy hell just over
We knew that all would change
Creates the strangest feelin'
Just know they waitin' for the end
I still have dreams about it
The moment since they came
The moment's never shown towards
Because we faded into darkness
I can still hear a silence
I can still hear a clock that's tickin'
You said I'm holdin' onto heartache
You said I wear it like a crown
It's gonna drag me down
I'm holdin' onto heartache
You should be starin' at the sky
The birds just passin' by, love
Holdin' onto heartache
The nights, the changin' seasons
Become the strangest days
I called you twice but then regretted it
And changed my number
The questions that I'm askin'
Where did it all go wrong?
There's endless versions of that thing
That keeps me driftin' back to darkness
I can still hear your silence
I can still hear a clock that's tickin'
You said I'm holdin' onto heartache
You said I wear it like a crown
It's gonna drag me down
I'm holdin' onto heartache
You should be starin' at the sky
The birds just passin' by, love
Holdin' onto heartache
You know the party's over
When you're standin' in an empty space alone
And time can always heal ya
If you let it make its way into your bones
Nothing's ever easy
To be honest, I'm not easy on myself
The second that I see ya
The space between us just comes floodin' back
You said I'm holdin' onto heartache
You said I wear it like a crown
It's gonna drag me down
I'm holdin' onto heartache
You should be starin' at the sky
The birds just passin' by, love
