[Verse]
Am C F*
Pull it out, turn it up. What's your favorite song?
Am C F/C*
That's mine, I've been crying to it since I was young.
Am G F/C
I know there's someone out there feeling just like I feel.
I know they're waiting up. I know they're waiting to heal.
Am G F
And I've been holding my breath, are you holding your breath
C G
For too many years to count?
Am F/C Am
And too many years to count.
[Chorus]
F/C C G Am
And we waited for the sirens that never come.
F/C C G Am
And we only write by the moon, with every word handwritten.
F/C C G Am
And to ease the loss of youth, and how many years I've missed you.
F/C C G Am C F* Am C F/C
Pages plead forgiveness, with every word handwritten.
[Verse]
Am C F/C*
Let it out, let me in, take a hold of my hand.
Am C F/C*
There's nothing like another soul that's been cut up the same.
Am G F
And did you wanna drive without a word in-between?
I can understand, you need a minute to breathe,
Am G F C G
And to sew up the seams...after all this defeat.
Am F Am
All this defeat.
[Chorus]
F/C C G Am
And we waited for the sirens that never come.
F/C C G Am
And we only write by the moon, with every word handwritten.

And to ease the loss of youth, And the many many years I've missed you.
F/C C G Am
Pages plead forgiveness, every word handwritten.

And it travels from heart, to limb, to pen.
[Outro]
F/C G F/C G
And we waited for the sirens that never come. We only write by the moon,
C G Am F/C
With every word handwritten. Every word handwritten.

And with this pen, I thee wed, From my heart to your distress.
C F C F
And with this pen, I thee wed, From my heart to your distress.
C F C F*(slow) C
And with this pen, I thee wed, From my heart to your distress.
