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