Intro: G - C - G - C

Verse 1:
G               
Nothing like you wish you were,
                                          C
Your name is the only thing youre really sure of,

Sitting on the wrong side of 25.
G
You keep your problems buried oh so deep
                             C
Then wonder why you wake up crying,
G                              C
At least the pain means youre alive.



Chorus:
                Em                   D
Cause its been months and youve had time
                         C
To face what youve been running from, running from
               Em                   D
Yeah its been months and you can't find
                    C
A reason why youre holding on, holding on.


Break: G - C - G - C


Verse 2:
G
Before you went away you said you thought
                               C
Youd try your hand at being a writer,

After all could it really be
G                  
Worse than waking up on Tuesday mornings 
                             C
to sign away your pride for money?

At least youd have your dignity
G
Yet all the while your mind is drifting back
                                   C
To all those nights when you were happy,

Or at least you thought you were.
G
Nothing here can take away the years you wasted
                     C
Thinking you werent lonely,

Or alone if you prefer


Chorus:
                Em                   D                                   
Cause its been months and youve had time
                         C
To face what youve been running from, running from
               Em                  D
Yeah its been months and you cant find
                    C                   D
A reason why youre holding on, holding on.

Bridge:
C                       Em                    D
If all you wanted was somebody to hear you out,
D                        C
To chase away the empty nights of fear and doubts.
C                        Em           D
Running away wont answer any of your prayers,
D
But youre praying, yeah youre praying.
C       D                  C
       Who are you praying to?
D                C                D                Em            G 
       Is it the God you stopped believing it when he abandoned you?

Ooh's: C - Em - D - C x2


Chorus:
                C                   Em
Cause its been months and youve had time
                        D                          
To face what youve been running from, running from
               C                  Em
Yeah its been months and you cant find
                    D
A reason why youre holding on.
