[Intro] C  C7M  

[First Part]

C          C7M  
 A painted heart on a sidewalk
C           C7M             F
 A bleedin' sun on a silver screen

I feel my ego when I talk
                        C
Lost myself in the in-between
        C7M  
Lustful eyes filled with love now
C        C7M           Am
 Sending in every cavalry
                               F
A few more souls on the bus now

[Pre-Chorus]
                           G   Am
Shut my eyes right at seventeen
       F
Always hits me
G Am       F
I'm always shifting

[Chorus]

C             C7M  
Take my hand, now and forever
C              C7M                      F
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?

Oh, man, look in the mirror
F                                    C
Take my hand, and don't you ever let go
               C7M  
(Take my hand, now and forever)
C              C7M  
(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)

[Segunda Parte]

C            C7M  
 Told myself maybe someday
C         C7M                 F
 I'd fall down from the centerpiece

I treat my mind like an ashtray
                  C
I owe you an apology
         C7M  
Breakin' plans on a Sunday
C       C7M                   Am
 With myself, maybe make some peace
                       F
I forgot every birthday

[Pre-Chorus]
                          G  Am
Open eyes right at twenty-three
       F
Always hits me
     G Am       F
That I'm always shifting

[Chorus]

C             C7M  
Take my hand, now and forever
C              C7M                      F
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?

Oh, man, look in the mirror
F                                    C
Take my hand, and don't you ever let go
               C7M  
(Take my hand, now and forever)
C              C7M  
(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)

[Bridge]

Am
Pick apart all of the pieces
          G
While I'm running out of time
Am
Iron out all of the creases
         G
And just hang it out to dry
F                  C
Shallow hearts for shallow minds
     G
That ache to be alive
   F              C
We fall apart and redefine
     G
What keeps you up at night

    C             C7M  
Oh, take my hand, now and forever
C              C7M                    Am
Where I stand, just as you losing yourself again
                  F
Look in the mirror

[Final Chorous]

C             C7M  
Take my hand, now and forever
C              C7M                      F
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?

Oh, man, look in the mirror
F                                    C
Take my hand, and don't you ever let go
               C7M  
(Take my hand, now and forever)
C              C7M  
(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)

C              C7M  
(Take my hand, now and forever
C             C7M  
Take my hand, now and forever)
                         F
How can you live and let die?

Young man, look in the mirror
F                                    C
Take my hand, and don't you ever let go
               C7M  
(Take my hand, now and forever
C             C7M  
Take my hand, now and forever
F
Take my hand, now and forever
F                             C
Take my hand, now and forever)

A painted heart on a sidewalk
C                           F
 A bleeding sun on a silver screen

I feel my ego when I talk
F
 Lost myself in the in-between
C
 Lustful eyes filled with love now
C
 Sending in every cavalry
F
 A few more souls on the bus now
