This is not intended to sound like the album. This is how I play a stripped down
version of the song with a solo acoustic guitar.
Bm D G G
Bm D
I was looking down at you smiling underneath
G G
For once I held you tight, but shadow hands grabbed at me
Bm D
You're head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head
G G
It's when you needed me, so I listened to what you said
Bm D
Look another year went by,
G
They keep passing by,
G
But damn I didn't even die,
Bm D
Too old and slow I've grown,
G G
I fought time but lost
Bm D G G
Bm D
It was love like a callus you scarred enough to be
G G
Tough and immune, your body adapts you see
Bm D
To all above my head, and all below my feet
G G
No that's one freedom you'll never take from me
Bm D
Look another year went by,
G
They keep passing by,
G
But damn I didn't even die,
Bm D
Too old and slow I've grown,
G G
I fought time but lost
Bm D G G
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
Bm D G G
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear
Bm D G G
Hold tight, hold tight
Bm D G G x2
Bm D G G
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
Bm D G G
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear
Bm D G G
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
Bm D G G
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear
Bm D G G
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Bm D
Look another year went by
G G Bm D G G
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Bm D G G ...
