C A painted heart on a sidewalk F A bleeding sun on a silver screen I feel my ego when I talk C Lost myself in the in-between Lustful eyes filled with love now Am Sending in every cavalry F A few more souls on the bus now G Am Shut my eyes right at seventeen F Always hits me G Am F I'm always shifting Chorus: C Take my hand, now and forever F Where I stand, how can you live and let die? Oh, man, look in the mirror F C Take my hand, and don't you ever let go (Take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) Am Don't you ever let go (Take my hand, now and forever) F (Take my hand, now and forever) Told myself maybe someday I'd fall down from the centrepiece I treat my mind like an ashtray I owe you an apology Breaking plans on a Sunday With myself, maybe make some peace I forgot every birthday Open eyes right at twenty-three Always hits me That I'm always shifting Chorus Am Pick apart all of the pieces G While I'm running out of time Am Iron out all of the creases G And just hang it out to dry F C Shallow hearts for shallow minds G That ache to be alive F C We fall apart and redefine G What keeps you up at night Oh, take my hand, now and forever Where I stand, just as you're losing yourself again Look in the mirror Chorus (Take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) How can you live and let die? Young man, look in the mirror Take my hand and don't you ever— (Take my hand, now and forever) And forever (Take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) A painted heart on a sidewalk A bleeding sun on a silver screen I feel my ego when I talk Lost myself in the in-between Lustful eyes filled with love now Sending in every cavalry A few more souls on the bus now You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA Am C F G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
