Chords

This definitely isn't the way Seth plays it. The live versions I've seen show a capo on the 5th fret, but this sounded right to me when I was trying to learn it. [Intro] F C F C F C G G x2 [Chorus]
    F                  C
You slipped through my hands

       F              C
Like I did through my dad’s

       F          C
Like a river that passes
Walk up to G The rocks that its on
    F           C
I’m bracing for loneliness
walk up to F I know its coming
F         G                 Am
Who will I hold when you're gone

Em   F          G                C
Now, who will I hold when you’re gone
[Verse 1]
    F         C
Now happiness comes

       F               C
And it seems much like money

       F            C
People gather round it
Walk to G When its gone they go running
   F            C
Im trying to be here
walk up to F Lift up to the now
        F           C
But the past has to come
Walk to G And pulls me back down [Chorus]
    F                  C
You slipped through my hands

       F              C
Like I did through my lover’s

       F          C
Like a river that passes
Walk up to G The bed that it’s on
    F           C
I’m bracing for loneliness
walk up to F I know its coming
F          G                Am
Who will I hold when you're gone

Em   F          G                C
Now, who will I hold when you’re gone
F C F C F C G G x2 [Verse 2]
          F          C
Now these victims of love

     F           C
Most hopeless of all

F         C                walk to G
Fortunate prisoners in an infinite war
F C walk up to F They turn on themselves, its pure sabotage
F            C           C          G
Silver spoon babies with Tupperware hearts

F            C           C          G
Silver spoon babies with Tupperware hearts
[Chorus]
    F                  C
You slipped through my hands

       F              C
Like I did through my mama’s

       F          C
Like a river that passes
Walk up to G The rocks that its on
    F           C
I’m bracing for loneliness
walk up to F I know its coming
F          G                Am
Who will I hold when you're gone

Em   F          G                C
Now, who will I hold when you’re gone

F          G                Am
Who will I hold when you're gone

Em   F          G                C
Now, who will I hold when you’re gone
