Intro: F 

F            
Lover, have you solved your love today? 
                  Gm                       Dm 
And you've been running around trying to figure it out 
               C                  
But you don't need this anymore 
F 
And lovers you gave your hearts away 
                   Gm                    Dm 
And you've been coming around trying to hold me down 
               C 
But you can't keep me anymore 

              Bb               C 
When you're close enough to whisper in my ear 
              Dm 
But I can't reach you anymore 
           C 
When you close me off and turn away 
                    Bb 
I feel like I could die 

F                                         Dm 
When we cling to it, when we hold it too close 
                    Bb                           F 
It gets away from us, and we've started to grow old 
                                             Dm 
When it's creeping in, and we've nowhere to hide 
                    Bb                              F 
We try to love again, we'll try to love again 

F  
And you've been holed up in a house 
                   Gm 
And they've been coming at your gates 
                   Dm 
And you've been holding your ground 
               C 
But you can't hold this anymore 


              Bb               C 
When you're close enough to whisper in my ear 
              Dm 
But I can't reach you anymore 
           C 
When you close me off and turn away 
                    Bb 
I feel like I keep falling down 

F                                         Dm 
When we cling to it, when we hold it too close 
                    Bb                           F 
It gets away from us, and we've started to grow old 
                                             Dm 
When it's creeping in, and we've nowhere to hide 
                    Bb                              F 
We try to love again, we'll try to love again 

F 
And they're slowly picking away, and leaving only the bad parts, the bad parts of me 
F                                                     Dm             Bb 
And they're slowly picking away, and leaving only the bad parts, the bad parts of me 
F                                                     Dm             Bb 
And they're slowly picking away, and leaving only the bad parts, the bad parts of me 
F                                                     Dm             Bb 
And they're slowly picking away, and leaving only the bad parts, the bad parts of me 
(when we cling to it, when we hold it too close, it gets away from us, and we've started to grow old) 
F                                                     Dm             Bb 
And they're slowly picking away, and leaving only the bad parts, the bad parts of me 
(When it's creeping in, and we've nowhere to hide, we try to love again, we'll try to love again) 
F                                                     Dm             Bb 
And they're slowly picking away, and leaving only the bad parts, the bad parts of me 
(when we cling to it, when we hold it too close, it gets away from us, and we've started to grow old) 
F                                                     Dm             Bb 
And they're slowly picking away, and leaving only the bad parts, the bad parts of me 
(When it's creeping in, and we've nowhere to hide, we try to love again, we'll try to love again) 

Ends with an F.
