Chords

[Intro] C G C Am x4 [Verse 1]
          C         G            Em           B
Whenever days slip away and every moment with me

                C           G              Em         B
feels like I'm floating in space because I want to believe

             C        G            Em           B
these are my halcyon days, but I'm afraid of my age

               C         G             Em           B
and don't know anyone's name because I can't concentrate,
[Chorus]
     G    D     Bm     Em  D  C
oh, I am never letting go of you.
C G C Am x2 [Verse 2]
          C          G              Em            B
Whenever weeks slip away from being caught in the wake

         C         G            Em           B
of the American craze - the overtime, underpaid.

              C        G              Em             B
These are the Amazon days, we are the binge watching age

               C         G               Em             B
and we'll be stuck in a screen until our phones fall asleep.
[Chorus]
     G    D     Bm     Em  D  C
oh, I am never letting go of you.
C G C Am x2 [Bridge]
Em                  D              C
We'll get lost and wander off distracted by fake news.

Em                  D                Am
When our towns fall to the ground it won't shatter me and you
[Verse 3]
                C         G              Em             B 
and when we're looking around at all the shit that went down

               C            G                Em            B
'cause half of us were too scared and half of us were too proud

            C          G            Em            B
to see the systems we start are destined to fall apart

             C          G               Em           B
when we let power and greed corrupt our collective heart,
[Chorus]
     G    D     Bm     Em  D  C
oh, I am never letting go of you.
C G C Am x2 [Bridge 2]
Em                  D              C
We'll get lost and wander off enraptured by fake doom.

Em                  E/D#               D                E/D#
When our towns fall to the ground, oh, it won't shatter me and you
[Verse 4]
         G         Em            Am         D
whenever we feel ashamed being alive and awake

           G       Em           Am      D
in such an era of hate and military police.

              G           Em                Am          D
These are the mass murder days. We are the blast damage age

                G        Em                Am        D
where we can't love anything because they keep us afraid,
[Chorus]
    G       D        Bm       Em   D
oh, I will be there kicking, fighting,

  G         D        Bm          Em  D    G
beating, screaming, "There's no fucking way

G   D    E/D#    Em D   C
I'm ever letting go of you."
[Outro] C G C Am x2 C G Em B x2
