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