Summer evening
 G                      D
Some kind of grand affair
        A
Wasn't easy
         G                  D
Leaving you on the marble stairs
              A
Now I don't know
         G                D
If I'll ever again be who I was then
                 A
And as I walked home
            G               Bm
You were already dancing inside in my head

Chorus:
                   A      G        D
So hold on, don't let me fall too far
                 A          G   D
I'm hoping this won't pull me apart
                   A
'Cause you wanted time
                G
And you wanted truth
              D
But I wanted you
                  A      G        D
So hold on don't let me fall too far

So if I'm going to be honest
Then don't tell me no lies
'Cause I've been out here the longest
For the longest of times
But I'm down to wait
I'm down to wait 'til I give up the ghost
And everything breaks
While we fill our glasses and raise a toast

Chorus:
So hold on, don't let me fall too far
I'm hoping this won't pull me apart
'Cause you wanted time
And you wanted truth
But I wanted you, yeah
So hold on don't let me fall too far

It was a summer evening
Some kind of grand affair
