For the soprano ukulele, standard tuning. A simple accompaniment for a beautiful
song. This is the album version, I think live they generally play it a couple half steps higher.

[C]October throws hers[F]elf before my f[Bb]eet
And the s[C]ky goes powder b[F]lue
Hold[Bb]ing her br[F]eath for [C]me
I n[C]ever thought mys[F]elf a city s[Bb]hoe
But it's m[C]ade of gold to[F]day
And it br[Bb]eaks my he[F]art in t[C]wo
Cause I w[Dm]ant to hold on[A]to it
But there's n[Bb]othing to h[F]old
And the u[Dm]niverse is l[A]aughing
Cause [Bb]all a boy can really do is w[C]atch a boy unfold
We were lis[C]tening to this c[F]ity hum and [Bb]hush
Lying p[C]erfect in the d[F]ark
I felt you t[Bb]remble n[F]eath my t[C]ouch
Was it e[C]verything we l[F]ove we can't exp[Bb]lain
Like if the wo[C]rld should disapp[F]ear
Only m[Bb]usic w[F]ill rem[C]ain
Cause I w[Dm]ant to hold on[A]to it
But there's n[Bb]othing to h[F]old

But there's n[Bb]othing to h[F]old

And the universe is laughing
Cause [Bb]all a boy can really do is w[C]atch a boy unfold
And the g[Dm]alaxies, the galaxies are h[A]owling
The s[Bb]ilent moon, a kick of pink and g[F]old
And the w[Dm]hole damn universe is la[A]ughing
And a[Bb]ll a boy can really do is w[C]atch a boy unfo-[C]o-o[F]ld
