D#                              G# A#
It's so hard to watch you be happy
D#                             G# A#
It's so hard to know that I'm not
                 Cm           A#
'Cause when the world stopped moving
        F/A
Like it did last week
G#            Gm7    A#
I just wanted you to hold me

D#                         G#   A#
It's so hard to not be in your life
             D#
'Cause you know I love your brother
         G#                  A#
And your mom like they were mine
              Cm           A#
And when the world stopped moving
         F/A
Like it did last week
G#            Gm7     A#
I just wanted you to hold me

Chorus:
    Cm7       Dm7         A#
And all your friends are mine
 Cm7             D7           A#
They know that we're nothing alike, mmm
   Cm7                   B7
So if they believe that we're meant to be
    A#7
I'd like to think they're right
              Cm7   A#      G# Gm
But when the world stopped moving
F7           F     A#
You weren't by my side
And that didn't feel right

It's so hard to remember last winter
But like the porcupine and cactus
They don't care 'cause they've both got prickers
And when the world stopped moving
I felt just like them 'cause see

Love is more than words
And I also hurt you
We've both done the worst, but
When the world stopped last week
I just wanted you to hold me
