[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
C
A painted heart on a sidewalk
                              F
A bleeding sun on a silver screen
I feel my ego when I talk
                           C
Lost myself in the in between

Lustful eyes filled with love now
                       Am
Sending in every cavalry
                              F
A few more souls on the bus now
                            G  Am
Shut my eyes right at seventeen

[Pre-Chorus]
         F
Always hits me
G  Am           F
I'm....always shifting

[Chorus]
C
Take my hand, now and forever
Where I stand, how can
                   F
you live and let die?
Young man, look in the mirror
Take my hand and don't
               C
you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
                   Am
Don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
  F
(Take my hand, now and forever)

[Verse 2]
C
 Told myself maybe someday
                                F
I'd fall down from the centerpiece

I treat my mind like an ashtray
                   C
I owe you an apology

Breaking plans on a Sunday
                              Am
With myself maybe make some peace
                      F
I forgot every birthday
                            G  Am
Open eyes right at twenty-three

[Pre-Chorus]
         F
Always hits me
G  Am           F
I'm. always shifting

Dm
Pick apart all of the pieces,
           G
well I'm running out of time

Iron out all of the creases
           G
and just hang it out to dry
 F                  C/E
Shallow hearts for shallow minds
        G
 that ache to be alive

You fall apart and redefine what
   G
keeps you up at night

Look in the mirror

Take my hand and don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
