Verse 1:         Am                       
                     C                             F         Am
Pull it out, turn it up, what's your favorite song?      
                            C                       F         Am
That's mine, I've been crying to it since I was young
                                G                     F  
I know there's someone out there feeling just like I feel
                                                     Am
I know they're waiting up, I know they're waiting to heal
                           G
And I've been holding my breath
                      F
Are you holding your breath
                       C    G
For too many years to count?
                    Am      F
Too many years to count


Chorus:                 Am
      F        C       G                    Am
And we waited for the sirens that never come
     F                    C
And we only write by the moon
G                         Am
Every word handwritten
      F                     C
And to ease the loss of youth
            G                  Am
And how many years I've missed you
F                      C
Pages plead forgiveness
G
Every word handwritten

Verse 2:

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

Chorus 2:

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

Breakdown:

Here in the dark, I cherish the moonlight
I'm in love with the way you're in love with the night
And it travels from heart to limb to pen

                                            F
              G                            F
And we waited for the sirens that never come
                         G
And we only write by the moon
            C              G
Every word handwritten
              Am        F
Every word handwritten
     G     Am      F        G
And with this pen, I thee wed
         G          Am      F      G
From my heart to your distress
                 C
Every word handwritten
