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