E F#m D You said I'm holdin' onto heartache A E You said I wear it like a crown F#m It's gonna drag me down D A I'm holdin' onto heartache E You should be starin' at the sky F#m The birds just passin' by, love Bm The windy hell just over A We knew that all would change E Creates the strangest feelin' Bm Just slowly waitin' for the end I still have dreams about it A The moment since they came E The moment's never shown to us Bm Because we faded into darkness A I can still hear a silence E F#m I can still hear a clock that's tickin' Chorus: D You said I'm holdin' onto heartache A E You said I wear it like a crown F#m It's gonna drag me down D I'm holdin' onto heartache A E You should be starin' at the sky F#m The birds just passin' by, love Bm A E Holdin' on to heartache The nights, they change in seasons Become the strangest days I called you twice, but then regretted it And changed my number The questions that I'd ask you "Where did it all go wrong?" There's endless versions of the thing That keeps me driftin' back to darkness I can still hear your silence I can still hear a clock that's tickin' Chorus A You know the party's over E When you're standin' in an empty space alone Bm And time can always heal ya D If you let it make its way into your bones A Nothing's ever easy E To be honest, I'm not easy on myself Bm The second that I see ya D The space between us just comes floodin' back Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA D E F#m Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
