G Em D

[Verse 1]
G      Em              D
We are nothing without mistakes
    G
Our bodies say "go"
          Em                       D
But we're stuck in the cold and we wait
        C
Yeah we hold up and freeze
         D                        Em
And it's something to see but we stay
       C
We are stuck on a cross
         D                 G
And it's hard to get off anyway

[Chorus]
G                 C        D          G                C
I heard you say, "hold me closer, and don't forget our lie
C                       D                G
I was thinking it was a perfect time for goodbye"
G                 C       D                G                  C
I heard you say, "hold me closer, ain't it time for you to go home?
C
And be alive
G
And be alive"

[Verse 2]
G      Em              D
We are nothing without ourselves
     G
I'll sing a song
      Em                   D
But I know it belongs on a shelf
        C
When it blends in with things
        D                 Em
That we never see in this hell
          C
Oh, but I miss your clothes
        D                        G
And the way that you know I want help

[Chorus]
G                 C        D          G                C
I heard you say, "hold me closer, and don't forget our lie
C                       D                G
I was thinking it was a perfect time for goodbye"
G                 C       D                G                  C
I heard you say, "hold me closer, ain't it time for you to go home?
C
And be alive
D          G
And be alive"

[Bridge]
G      Em              D
We are nothing without mistakes
    G
Our bodies say "go"
          Em                       D
But we're stuck in the cold and we wait

[Chorus]
G                 C        D          G                C
I heard you say, "hold me closer, and don't forget our lie
C                       D                G
I was thinking it was a perfect time for goodbye"
G                 C       D                G                  C
I heard you say, "hold me closer, ain't it time for you to go home?

[End]
C
And be alive
C
And be alive
G
And be alive
G             G
And be alive
