B Ooh, you wanted it too late E You wanted it too late now B I can't keep track of all your tears E You're crying rivers way too long And, oooh, I'm tired of loneliness But I'm way more tired of wasted time So still, you barely look alive These shocks will do you so much good B A E Just keep your wits about you, don't let it end you B A E And summon everything you've held up in reserve B A E Don't fall for every single stolen glance and wink B A E Try to keep your heart on higher shelves once Chorus: B What are you holding back A E I know your wild horses on the inside of you (Stop holding back) B Now slip the tattoo on A E Serenity, its gone from red to blue (Stop holding back) B I'll make you of this love A E And no you don't have time without it (Stop holding back) B I know I don't know much A E But I do know when to preach (Stop holding back) Ooh, you wanted it to work You wanted it to work so much But it's been broken in your hands The minute that it found your hands Ooh, you're trying not to blink For once you wanna see what is Ooh, it hasn't finished you It's only that it feels that way Just keep your wits about you, don't let it end you And summon everything you've held up in reserve Don't fall for every single stolen glance and wink Try to keep your heart on higher shelves for once Chorus (Don't hold back) (Don't hold back) (Don't hold back) (Don't hold back) (Don't hold back) (Don't hold back) (Don't hold back) Girl, you're wide awake (Don't hold back) Girl, you're wide awake (Don't hold back) Girl, you're wide awake (Stop holding back) (Don't hold back) Girl, you're wide awake (Don't hold back) Girl, you're wide awake (Don't hold back) Girl, you're wide awake (Stop holding back) You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA E B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
