Intro : C G Em D
I was young, Id se[C]en it al[G]l. A cemetery in t[Em]he middle of a super mall.[D]
I went to school. I never learned. How it feels, how everything you love can burn.
And it never stops. Its all I got. And I never know when to turn.
Like a merry-go-round it all comes around again.
(CORO)
And I dont know wh[C]y I'm her[G]e, I dont know whe[Em]re Ill go[D]
cause if I dont gi[C]ve it t[G]ime, how could this ga[Em]rden gr[D]ow?
I dont know w[C]hat Ive lo[G]st, and I dont know how to get it[B] back[Em]
But Im holdin' o[Am]n
Im holdin o[D]n, for as long as I can"
I moved [C]away, I [G]quit the band. I s[Em]aw it comin it was written on [D]the back of my hand.
Every day. I could feel. Something' missin' I went home to get a record deal."
And my mother said, your theirs to your dead, to them its just another meal.
Now I'm fat with regret. Im placin' my bet on me."
And I dont know wh[C]y I'm her[G]e, I dont know whe[Em]re I'll go[D]
cause if I dont gi[C]ve it t[G]ime, how could this ga[Em]rden gr[D]ow?
I dont know[C] what I've[G] lost, and I dont[B] know how to get it[Em] back
But Im holdin' o[Am]n
Im holdin o[D]n, for as long as I can
[A7m]It's not over yet, no, it[B7m]'s not even close
My heart is y[A7m]ounger, stronger tha[B7m]n 100 cowards in a row
And all my cur[A7m]iosity will keep me askin[B7m]g, "What went wrong?
When it's all d[A7m]one, when it's gone,
No, it won't be long 'til I'm tra[B]veling back in time
To a place when I was mine
Solo:
And I dont know wh[C]y I'm her[G]e, I dont know whe[Em]re I'll go[D]
cause if I dont [C]give it[G] time, how could this [Em]garden [D]grow?
I dont know w[C]hat I've l[G]ost, and I dont k[B]now how to get it b[Em]ack
But Im holdin' o[Am]n
Im holdin o[D]n, for as long as I can
