Nickel Creek – Holding Pattern (Guitar)

Bm          A                 D
Washing my hands through the night

        _           Bm  A   D  _
Can't sleep for the si-rens

          Bm          A
Screaming one man's freedom's

  D          _             Bm  A   D
Another's fever that keeps ri-sing

  _               Bm          A
Along with this sneak-attack sun

        D           _              Bm               A
But I promise, hon, I can make the coffee strong enough

           D          _
To get us to the wine

     Bm  A  D  _      Bm      A  D  _
In a ho--o--o--olding pattern

  Bm          A            D      _        Bm  A  D  _
Remembering when we could land in any old weather

         Bm             A             D          _            Bm        A  D
Singing, nothing's so wrong that the right song can't make it    better

      _           Bm        A                D
But when will the aerosols fly through the stage lights

 _                Bm         A       D               _
Towards the front row of my next audience, I wonder

     Bm  A       D      _
In a ho--olding pattern

Bm   A          D  _
Circling around

          Bm  A       D      _
Won't you ho--old me darling

           Bm  A         D    _
Till the whee--ls touch down?

Bm           A
Here in your arms

         D           _           Bm  A   D  _
A chorus of alarms sounding like vespers

     Bm          A
Your lips to my ears

          D          _           Bm    A     D
Don't forget we're alone in this    together

  _      Bm          A
Glory to every true love

      D
As it once was

_        Bm            A             D         _
As it is now and just might have to be forever

     Bm  A       D      _
In a ho--olding pattern

Bm   A          D
Circling around

      _          Bm  A        D      _
Hold me and I'll ho--old you darling

           Bm  A         D   _
Till the whee--ls touch down

     Bm  A  D  _  Bm  A  D  _       (Bm)
In a ho--o--o--o--o---o--o--o--lding pattern

   Bm  A       D      _
So ho--old me darling

          Bm     A     D
While the world burns down
