[Intro]
C Cmaj7
[Verse 1]
C Cmaj7
A painted heart on a sidewalk
C Cmaj7 F
A bleedin' sun on a silver screen
I feel my ego when I talk
C
Lost myself in the in-between
Cmaj7
Lustful eyes filled with love now
C Cmaj7 Am
Sending in every cavalry
F
A few more souls on the bus now
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am
Shut my eyes right at seventeen
F
Always hits me
G Am F
I'm always shifting
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
Take my hand, now and forever
C Cmaj7 F
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?
Oh, man, look in the mirror
F C
Take my hand, and don't you ever let go
Cmaj7
(Take my hand, now and forever)
C Cmaj7
(Take my hand, now and forever)
Am
Don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
F
(Take my hand, now and forever)
[Verse 2]
C Cmaj7
Told myself maybe someday
C Cmaj7 F
I'd fall down from the centerpiece
I treat my mind like an ashtray
C
I owe you an apology
Cmaj7
Breakin' plans on a Sunday
C Cmaj7 Am
With myself, maybe make some peace
F
I forgot every birthday
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am
Open eyes right at twenty-three
F
Always hits me
G Am F
That I'm always shifting
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
Take my hand, now and forever
C Cmaj7 F
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?
Oh, man, look in the mirror
F C
Take my hand, and don't you ever let go
Cmaj7
(Take my hand, now and forever)
C Cmaj7
(Take my hand, now and forever)
Am
Don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
F
(Take my hand, now and forever)
[Bridge]
Am
Pick apart all of the pieces
G
While I'm running out of time
Am
Iron out all of the creases
G
And just hang it out to dry
F C
Shallow hearts for shallow minds
G
That ache to be alive
F C
We fall apart and redefine
G
What keeps you up at night
[Buildup]
C Cmaj7
Oh, take my hand, now and forever
C Cmaj7 Am
Where I stand, just as you losing yourself again
F
Look in the mirror
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
Take my hand, now and forever
C Cmaj7 F
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?
Oh, man, look in the mirror
F C
Take my hand, and don't you ever let go
Cmaj7
(Take my hand, now and forever)
C Cmaj7
(Take my hand, now and forever)
Am
Don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
F
(Take my hand, now and forever)
A painted heart on a sidewalk
A bleeding sun on a silver screen
I feel my ego when I talk
Lost myself in the in between
Lustful eyes filled with love now
Sending in every cavalry
A few more souls on the bus now
Shut my eyes right at seventeen
Always hits me
I'm always shifting
Take my hand, now and forever
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?
Young man, look in the mirror
Take my hand and don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
Don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
Told myself maybe someday
I'd fall down from the centerpiece
I treat my mind like an ashtray
I owe you an apology
Breaking plans on a Sunday
With myself maybe make some peace
I forgot every birthday
Open eyes right at twenty-three
Always hits me
I'm always shifting
Take my hand, now and forever
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?
Young man, look in the mirror
Take my hand and don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
Don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
Pick apart all of the pieces, well I'm running out of time
Iron out all of the creases and just hang it out to dry
Shallow hearts for shallow minds that ache to be alive
You fall apart and redefine what keeps you up at night
Oh, take my hand, now and forever
Where I stand just as you're losing yourself again
Look in the mirror
Take my hand, now and forever
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?
Young man, look in the mirror
Take my hand and don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
Don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
