Boy & Bear – Hold Your Nerve (Guitar)

E 
It fell apart just as it began

     Cm                   A
In a flash of defiance

E
You won't take the initiative

    Cm                  A
But the rest was mine

 E                F#m
On demand I will understand

      Cm                         A
What a freefall could feel like

E                F#m
You became but a fabled dream

    Cm                   A
That would blur in time

 F#
But a restless heart

                     Cm
’Cause sometimes the spark you know

    A
How sweet the glow

     E *                F#m *
That kicks you off your line

Cm
I was not right

A
I was bent out

E                 F#m
And still left unshown

Cm
Weighing on that

A
Time in anguish

E              F#m
Now it left me broke

E
Is this the sound of a moving ground

        Cm                   A
Or the echoes of self-doubt?

E
I found the way to some peace of mind

       Cm               A
That I still can't use

E                F#m
To meditate on a shifting sand

      Cm                      A
Takes steadfast and sure feet

E                Fm
You became but a fabled dream

           Cm             A
That would stir in time

F#
But a restless heart

                     Cm
'Cause sometimes the spark you know

     A
How sweet the glow

     E *                F#m *
That kicks you off your line

Cm
I was not right

A                 E
I was bent out

                    F#m
And still left unsure

Cm
Weighing on that

A                  E
Time in anguish

               Fm
Now it left me broke

Cm                   A
When you called me

E
I was anxious

                  F#m
And I felt exposed

Cm
But if all this

A
Might be worth it

E                   F#m
Then I had to know

Cm
I’m not angry

A
For the time lost

E                          F#m
That's the turning wheel

Cm
When I knew then

A
When I know now

E                 F#m
It was justified

Cm
Baby, all that

A
Sweet connection

E                    F#m *
Sometimes takes its time
