Verse 1

A5                      C5                         F5
   Pull it out, turn it up, what's your favorite song?
A5                          C5                        F5
   That's mine, I've been crying to it since I was young
A5                              C5                        F5
   I know there's someone out there feeling just like I feel
                              G5
   I know they're waiting up, I know they're waiting to heal
A5                            C5
   And I've been holding my breath
                          F5
   Are you holding your breath
    G5                            C5     G5
   For too many years to count?
                       A5        F5
   Too many years to count


Chorus

A5          C5     F5        G5
   And we waited for the sirens that never come
A5         C5                 F5
   And we only write by the moon
     G5
   Every word handwritten
A5         C5                 F5
   And to ease the loss of youth
            G5                      A5
   And how many years I've missed you
     C5              F5
   Pages plead forgiveness
     G5
   Every word handwritten

Verse 2 

A5                    C5                      F5
   Let it out, let me in, take a hold of my hand
A5                               C5                           F5
   There's nothing like another soul that's been cut up the same
A5                            C5                    F5
   And did you want to drive without a word in between?
              G5                              A5
   I can understand, you need a minute to breathe
                       C5          F5         G5      C5              
   And to sew up the seams after all this defeat
G5                   A5      F5
   All this defeat


Chorus

A5          C5     F5        G5
   And we waited for the sirens that never come
A5         C5                 F5
   And we only write by the moon
     G5
   Every word handwritten
A5         C5                 F5
   And to ease the loss of youth
            G5                      A5
   And how many years I've missed you
     C5              F5
   Pages plead forgiveness
     G5
   Every word handwritten
