Capo 3

  E5  A5 E5            E5 A5 E5
Ooooooooooooh, ooooooooooooh

 E5                      
He told her when she played, 
         A5               E5
wings sprouted from her shoulder blades 
     G5                              D5
And every bone inside her seemed to change.
    E5           
So on her fingers moved 
      A5                    E5
Over notes she hoped would soothe,
      G5                            D5
His jagged soul, carressing every groove.


        C5                 G5     
Oh and how she longed to say
             E5                 D5 
That she'd missed his troubled ways,
        C5                 G5            D5 
Oh and if she could she'd do it all again.
                C5                   G5 
Cause sometimes every word has been used,
           E5               D5
And theres nothing left to do
     C5               G5                 D5               G5 *
But hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune.

    E5                     A5             E5
A year ago today New York City seemed to fall away,
    G5                                D5           
To leave only the bed in which they laid.
       E5                                               
But an island is just that
        A5                  E5              
Oh and when the world came flooding back
      G5                                D5    
All pillars underneath them began to crack

          C5              G5              
Now he's sitting on her floor
               E5              D5                  
She's playing all the minor chords
         C5                 G5                D5
Wishing so damn hard he'd kiss her like before 
           C5                    G5 
Sometimes every word has been used,
             E5             D5
And there?s nothing left to do
     C5                 G5                D5               G5
But hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune.
     C5                  G5                 D5              E5  A5 E5
Yeah hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune. 

  E5 A5 E5        A5       E5     
Ooooooooooooh,            oooh

                  C5                  G5
Cause sometimes every inch of you is bruised,
             E5               D5   
And there?s nothing left to prove
         C5                G5                 D5               G5
So just hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune.
      C5                G5                 D5               G5 *     
Yeah hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune.
