           C                G/B         Am               G

           Dm                                      G

so let your body move a little bit closer

                  Dm                   G
silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone

           Dm                    G
don't you know that powerful thinking

       Dm                        G
is a force you don't want to relinquish
well don't you know that
Em              D               C          Bm
they say that hanging on will justify the wait

     A                          Em7/B
but patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase
(Chorus)
F                             G
well i'm only hanging on for what goes down baby

F                          G
i'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground

F                          G
i'd take advantage but i can't see through this charade

Em             G           Am       G          Dm
so don't you don't you go make it harder than hell
don't go making promises don't go making promises
          Em                G
