Intro
| D#m B | F# C# | 4x
[Verse 1]
G# D#
Staring at the bottom and the memories of long ago
G# D#
Try to pull yourself up loose that all time low
G#
Still it wants to bring you down
D#
Wants to steal your crown
G# D#
Try to wrap it up and just give it all some place to go
[Chorus]
D#m
Staring at a photograph
B
Of everything we used to have
F# C#
And memories of long ago
D#m B F# C#
Hard to shake them now, hard to shake them now
D#m
Looking back at the past
B
And why we couldn't make it last
F# C#
And why you ever had to go
D#m B F# C#
Hard to take it now, hard to shake it now
G#
It holds on
[Verse 2]
D#
Somewhere down the road and the things you learned along the way
G# D#
All you won and lost, and all you had to pay
G#
Still it wants to turn you round
D#
Wants to steal your ground
G# D#
Try to wrap it up and somehow just put it all away
[Chorus]
D#m
Staring at a photograph
B
Of everything we used to have
F# C#
And memories of long ago
D#m B F# C#
Hard to shake them now, hard to shake them now
D#m
Looking back at the past
B
And why we couldn't make it last
F# C#
And why you ever had to go
D#m B F# C#
Hard to take it now, hard to shake it now
D#m
It holds on
