Chords

[Intro] C G Em D [Verse]
C          G
I was young, I'd seen it all

Em                D
A cemetery in the middle of a super mall

C                G
I went to school, I never learned

Em                D
How it feels, how everything you love can burn

C      G                  Em
And it never stops, it's all I got

       D                   C
And I never know when to turn

       G                  Em               D
Like a merry-go-round, it all comes around again
[Chorus]
C                G
And I don't know why I'm here

             Em          D
I don't know where I'll go

           C       G                   Em     D
If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow?

             C          G               Bm                   Em
I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back

                Am
But I'm holdin' on

                 D
Yes, I'm holdin' on for as long as I can
[Instrumental] C G Em D [Verse]
C            G
I moved away, I left the band

Em                      D
I saw it coming, it was written on the back of my hand

C             G             Em    
And every day, I could feel something missing

       D
I went home to get a record deal

C      G                   Em
And my mother said, "You're theirs to your dead,

    D                          C
To them, it's just another meal. "

         G                   Em                D
Now I'm fat with regret, I'm placing my bet on me
[Chorus]
C                G
And I don't know why I'm here

             Em          D
I don't know where I'll go

           C       G                   Em     D
If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow?

             C          G               Bm                   Em
I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back

                Am
But I'm holdin' on

                 D
Yes, I'm holdin' on for as long as I can
[Bridge]
Am                      Bm
It's not over yet, no, it's not even close

            C                          Bm
My heart is younger, stronger than 100 cowards in a row

           Am                      Bm
And all my curiosity will keep me asking, "What went wrong?"

               C
When it's all done, when it's gone,

                              Bm
No, it won't be long 'til I'm traveling back in time
To a place when I was mine [Instrumental] C G Em D [Chorus]
C                G
And I don't know why I'm here

             Em          D
I don't know where I'll go

           C       G                   Em     D
If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow?

             C          G               Bm                   Em
I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back

                Am
But I'm holdin' on

                 D
Yes, I'm holdin' on for as long as I can
