[Intro] C G C G C G D x2 [Chorus]
G
You slip through my hands

C                       G
Like I did through my dad’s
Like a river that passes
                     D
The rocks that its on

C               G
I’m bracing for loneliness

             C
I know its coming

            D7              G
Who will I hold when you're gone

C                D7                 F
Now, who will I hold when youre gone
Em D7 [Verse 1]
C
Now happiness comes

G       C                 G
And it seems much like money

C                    G
People gather round it

                           D
When its gone they go running

C                G
Im trying to be here

               C
Lift up to the now

                     G
But the past has to come

                  D
And pulls me back down
[Chorus]
G
You slip through my hands

C                       G
Like I did through my lover’s
Like a river that passes
                 D
The bed that its on

C               G
I’m bracing for loneliness

            C
I know its coming

            D              G
Who will I hold when you're gone

C                D              G
Now, who will I hold when youre gone
C G C G C G D x2 [Verse 2]
C                     G
Now these victims of love

C                 G
Most hopeless of all

C           G                            D
Fortunate prisoners in an infinite war

C             G                      C
They turn on themselves, its pure sabotage

             G           C           G
Silver spoon babies with Tupperware hearts

C            G                      D     D7
Silver spoon babies with Tupperware hearts
[Chorus]
G
You slip through my hands

C                     G
Like I did through my mamma’s
Like a river that passes
                   D
The rocks that its on

C               G
I’m bracing for loneliness

           C
I know its coming

           D               Em
Who will I hold when youre gone

C               D7              Em
Now, who will I hold when youre gone

C          D               G
Who will I hold when youre gone

C               D7                   F
Now, who will I hold when youre gone
Em F D7
