Intro
| Cm G# | D# A# | 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]
Cm
Staring at a photograph
G#
Of everything we used to have
D# A#
And memories of long ago
Cm G# D# A#
Hard to shake them now, hard to shake them now
Cm
Looking back at the past
G#
And why we couldn't make it last
D# A#
And why you ever had to go
Cm G# D# A#
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]
Cm
Staring at a photograph

Hard to shake them now, hard to shake them now
Cm
Looking back at the past
G#
And why we couldn't make it last
D# A#
And why you ever had to go

Hard to take it now, hard to shake it now

It holds on
