Holding On To You
Intro: B F#x4
Verse 1:
B F#
I'm Takin over my body,back in control no more shotty
B F#
I Bet a lot of me was lost, T's uncrossed and I's undotted
B F#
I Fought it a lot and it seems a lot like flesh is all I got
B F#
Not anymore, flesh out the door, Swat!
B F#
I must've forgot, you can't trust me
B
I'm open a moment and closed when you show it
F#
Next thing you know I'm lost at sea
B F#
And now that I write and think about it, and the story unfolds
B F#
You should take my life, you should take my soul
Chorus:
G#m B E F#
You are surrounding, all my surroundings
G#m B E F# G#m
sounding cross the mountain range, of my left side brain
B E F#
You are surrounding, all my surroundings
G#m B
Twisting the kaleidoscope
E
Behind both of my eyes.
B, F#x4 And I'll be Holdin on to you!
Verse 2:
B F#
Remember the moment you know exactly where you're going,
B F#
'Cause the next moment, before you know it,
B
Time is slowing and it's frozen still,
F#
And the window sill looks really nice, right?
B F#
You think twice about your life, it probably happens at night,
B F#
Right? Fight it, take the pain, ignite it,
B F#
Tie a noose around your mind loose enough to breathe fine and tie it,
B F#
To a tree, tell it, "You belong to me,
B F#
This ain't a noose, this is a leash,
G#m
And I have news for you, you must obey me."
Chorus:
Bridge:
G#m E F#
Entertain my Faith (x 10)
(x5)
G#m E
Lean with it rock with it when we gonna stop with it
F#
Lyrics that mean nothing we were gifted with thought
G#m E
Is it time to move our feet to an introspective beat
F#
It ain't the speakers that bump hearts it's the heart that makes the beat
B, F#
I'll be holdin on to you! (x5)
