Am                      C                         F
   Pull it out, turn it up, what's your favorite song?

Am                          C                        F
   That's mine, I've been crying to it since I was young

Am                              C                        F
   I know there's someone out there feeling just like I feel

                              G
   I know they're waiting up, I know they're waiting to heal

Am                            C
   And I've been holding my breath

                          F
   Are you holding your breath

    G                            C     G
   For too many years to count?

                       Am        F
   Too many years to count
Chorus
Am          C     F        G
   And we waited for the sirens that never come

Am         C                 F
   And we only write by the moon

     G
   Every word handwritten

Am         C                 F
   And to ease the loss of youth

            G                      Am
   And how many years I've missed you

Am                    C                      F
   Let it out, let me in, take a hold of my hand

Am                               C                           F
   There's nothing like another soul that's been cut up the same

Am                            C                    F
   And did you want to drive without a word in between?

              G                              Am
   I can understand, you need a minute to breathe

                       C          F         G      C              
   And to sew up the seams after all this defeat

G                   Am      F
   All this defeat
Chorus
Am          C     F        G

   Here in the dark, I cherish the moonlight

C          Am            G             F             C
   I'm in love with the way you're in love with the night

            Am           G       F       C    Am    G    F
   And it travels from heart to limb to pen
