Intro: G - C - G - C
Verse 1:
[G]Nothing like you wish you were,
Your name is the only thing youre really s[C]ure of,
Sitting on the wrong side of 25.
[G]You keep your problems buried oh so deep
Then wonder why you wake up c[C]rying,
[G]At least the pain means youre a[C]live.
Chorus:
Cause its been m[Em]onths and youve had t[D]ime
To face what youve been r[C]unning from, running from
Yeah its been m[Em]onths and you can't f[D]ind
A reason why youre h[C]olding on, holding on.
Break: G - C - G - C
Verse 2:
[G]Before you went away you said you thought
Youd try your hand at being a w[C]riter,
After all could it really be
[G]Worse than waking up on Tuesday mornings
to sign away your pride for m[C]oney?
At least youd have your dignity
[G]Yet all the while your mind is drifting back
To all those nights when you were h[C]appy,
Or at least you thought you were.
[G]Nothing here can take away the years you wasted
Thinking you werent l[C]onely,
Or alone if you prefer
Chorus:
Cause its been m[Em]onths and youve had t[D]ime
To face what youve been r[C]unning from, running from
Yeah its been m[Em]onths and you cant f[D]ind
A reason why youre h[C]olding on, holding o[D]n.
Ooh's: C - Em - D - C x2
Bridge:
[C]If all you wanted was so[Em]mebody to hear you out[D],
[D]To chase away the empty n[C]ights of fear and doubts.
[C]Running away wont answer [Em]any of your p[D]rayers,
[D]But youre praying, yeah youre praying.
[C] W[D]ho are you praying [C]to?
[D] Is it the [C]God you stopped b[D]elieving it when [Em]he abandoned y[G]ou?
Ooh's: C - Em - D - C x2
Chorus:
Cause its been m[C]onths and youve had [Em]time
To face what youve been [D]running from, running from
Yeah its been m[C]onths and you cant [Em]find
A reason why youre h[D]olding on.
