[Intro]
F F C C
[Verse 1]
F
It's only getting harder
C
Talking to you without falling down
F
And this house keeps getting darker
C
We used to love, now all we do is shout
[Pre-hook 1]
Am
If we're cutting any corners
C
There's still a chance to make it right
Am
So let's put our heads together
F
Before we lose our mind
[Hook]
C Em Am Em F
Have I been holding on too strong?
C Em Am Em F
Maybe I'm coming off all wrong
C Em Am Em F
Is it our heavy handed love
G F
Keeping us from moving on?
[Instrumental]

F
Feels like I'm treading the water
C
Trying to keep my head above the line
F
I hear the sound of you get softer
C
Lately you've been just so hard to find
[Pre-hook 2]
Am
And there's nothing I want more now
C
Than to say the perfect words
Am
I try to make it better
F
But the trying only hurts
[Hook]

Have I been holding on too strong?
C Em Am Em F
Maybe I came across all wrong

Is it our heavy handed love
G F
Keeping us from moving on?
