[Verse I]
Am                 G
 And the air was full
   F                  Esus4    E
Of various storms and saints
                Am
Praying in the street
       Dm                 Em
As the banks began to break
               Am
And I'm in the throes of it
  Dm                             Em
Somewhere in the belly of the beast
                  Am
But you took your toll on me
     Dm                      Em
So I gave myself over willingly
              Am
Oh, you got a hold on me
             Dm                                  Em
I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream
     Dm                       Em
I am teaching myself how to be free

[Verse II]
Am
The monument of a memory

You tear it down in your head
Dm
Don't make the mountain your enemy
Em
Get out, get up there instead
Am
You saw the stars out in front of you

Too tempting not to touch
Dm
But even though it shocked you
Em
Something's electric in your blood

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                 C
 And people just untie themselves
Am             G     Dm
 Uncurling lifelines
                     Am          G
If you could just forgive yourself

[Chorus]
Am
But still you stumble, feet give way
Dm                          Em
Outside the world seems a violent place
Am
But you had to have him, and so you did
Dm                        Em
Some things you let go in order to live
Am
While all around you the buildings sway
Dm                        Em
You sing it out loud, who made us this way
Am
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
Dm                         Em
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
F                    Em                  Am
Hold on to your heart, don't give it away

[Verse III]
Am
You'll find a rooftop to sing from

Or find a hallway to dance
Dm                        Em
You don't need no edge to cling from
Dm            Em
Your heart is there, it's in your hands
Am
I know it seems like forever

I know it seems like an age
Dm                       Em
But one day this will be over
Dm                       Em
I swear it's not so far away

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                 C
 And people just untie themselves
Am             G     Dm
 Uncurling lifelines
                     Am          G
If you could just forgive yourself

[Chorus]
Am
But still you stumble, feet give way
Dm                          Em
Outside the world seems a violent place
Am
But you had to have him, and so you did
Dm                        Em
Some things you let go in order to live
Am
While all around you the buildings sway
Dm                        Em
You sing it out loud, who made us this way
Am
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
Dm                         Em
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
F               Em     Am
Hold on to your heart
