B
Hold on, baby
G#m           F#
Don't break, maybe
E
We could spend the night or
                        F#
an hour watching your favorite show
 B
Take my hand now
G#m          F#
Don't speak so loud
  E
Try your best to forget
                           F#
the world outside your window

Chorus:
        E
And be here with me
                F#
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
               E
And there's a symphony
      F#
Going on inside my head
             E
I know it's time to rest
        F#
Can you live like nothing's left?
            E
Forget your emptiness
          F#
Take a breath
          E
Take a breath
          F#
Take a breath

I'll tell your friends
Come over when
They can find the time to walk
the mile down the road
We can start a band that only plays
living room shows

Chorus:
And you'll be there with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
There's a symphony
Going on inside my head
I know there's emptiness
Making its way through your chest
But can you bury it?
Take a breath

    E
I know there's times when I can be a lot to handle
    F#
And I'm working with a therapist to take care of it
E
Keep coming back to me when I keep pushing you away
F#
It's not something I mean to do, it just comes
off that way
E
Don't wanna think about a world where there's
not your face
F#                                                E
Can't erase, there's nothing I wouldn't do for you
E
For you
    F#
For you

Chorus:
So just be here with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
And there's a symphony
Every time you look my way
I know we're under slept
And life's a promise that never ends
But you can handle it
Take a breath
Take a breath
Take a breath
