[Verse 1]
G Well, a goodbye never seems finished C G Just like these songs that I write Em C They hang aloft like stars in the night Em C 'Til there's nothing left but the illusion of light D C Em And you, you could've been mine G Your mother, she's an actress C G And we're all putting on the play Em C Give some conviction, pretend it's all real Em C Try to ignore how sad it all feels D C Em Yes, try not to break her heart if you can
[Chorus]
C Hold o-o-o-n Em To whatever you can until it's gone C Carry o-o-o-n D C G For none of us will be here for too lo-o-o-ng
[Verse 2]
G C G I'll try not to let the world and its darkness bring me down Em C Think of the love and the beauty I've found Em C The simple things that I've left behind D C Em Oh the way he'd make me laugh
[Chorus]
C But I'll hold o-o-o-n Em To whatever I can until it's gone C I'll carry o-o-o-n D C D C G For none of us will be here for too lo-ong, lo-o-o-ng
[Bridge]

E F E But you're a distant star F E My darling, you're so far away F E You were never meant to stay F E I reach out to see F E If you're still here with me F C Babe we could've made it easy G Couldn't we?
[Outro]
G Now I will never know you C G You are just someone passing by Em C And it makes me sad to think about Em C All the stories and fates that I'll be without D N.C. But I think I'm getting used to the silence now
