Lyrics
G       Am            G/B          Am

See the writing on the wall

Try to change my grip before I start to fall

And it's a Long_ way_ down_ to the bottom of the well

 

I know that I should watch before I leap

But the sound of rushing water gets me yearning for a peak

Of the life on the other side

The life on the other side

 

G                                       C

Hold me, hold me, hold me	Tell me not to go

Hold me, hold me, hold me 	Hold and don't let go

 

Writing letters to myself

Placing photographs in frames upon the shelf

Always looking back

To relive the past

 

Em                    Bm           Am

I keep quiet 'cause it silences my screams

The voices in my head are keeping me from dreams

 

4(4) 6(7) 5(5) 4(4) 6(7) 5(5) 4(4) 6(7)

4(5) 6(7) 5(5) 4(5) 6(7) 5(5) 4(5) 6(7)

4(5) 6(5) 5(5) 4(5) 6(5) 5(5) 4(5) 6(5)

4(4) 6(5) 5(4) 4(4) 6(5) 5(4) 6(5) 6(7)

 

Em         Am

Enjoy the silence

G       Bm     Em

Enjoy my pain

 

G           Am

I keep from feeling

Bm     C    Em

I feel everything

 

G                                       C

Hold me, hold me, hold me	Tell me not to go

Hold me, hold me, hold me	Hold and don't let go

(repeat)

 

G Am Bm Am (repeat)
