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 F C C 

verse 2 
      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 
             C  Em  Am Em  F 
Have I been holding on too strong? 
          C  Em  Am Em   F 
Maybe I came across all wrong 
          C  Em Am Em   F 
Is it our heavy handed love 
        G               F 
Keeping us from moving on? 

Bridge 
C B Dm Fm 
(Uhhh Ohh ohh yeahh) 
Am                          C 
    I'm not ready to go tonight 
                       F 
I'm not ready to go tonight (No, I'm not ready) 
                       F 
I'm not ready to go tonight (To go) 

Hook 
             C  Em  Am Em  F 
Have I been holding on too strong? 
          C  Em  Am Em   F 
Maybe I came across all wrong 
          C  Em Am Em   F 
Is it our heavy handed love 
        G               F 
Keeping us from moving on?
