G  C/G

[Verse 1]

G          C/G                  G
You didn’t know your own heart
     C/G            G
Or how it might fit
           C/G                                 Em
I’m in the house that you grew up in, where you
           D G
Gave me it
           C/G              G
Where your brother read books
           C/G             G
While your sister slept in
             C/G                       Em         D
And where we laughed over imitations on the internet


[Chorus]

Em
         C/G                            G           D Em
How you long for me to find what you’ve been burying
         C/G                          G                    D Em
How your hands are too small for what they’ve been carrying
         C/G                            G         D Em
How many words have I wrote down without saying it
     D           C/G        G
If I knew how to hold you I would

G

[Verse 2]
            C/G                 G
You said it makes you feel small
          C/G            G
That your heart is so big
             C/G                            Em
But you just gave a piece for some kind of
           D  G
Counterfeit
        C/G               G
Now the sun has gone down
     C/G                G
On a road that we chose
              C/G                           Em
You know your words are a light, you should
                D
Lead with those


[Chorus]

Em
        C/G                            G           D Em
How you long for me to find what you’ve been burying
         C/G                          G                    D Em
How your hands are too small for what they’ve been carrying
         C/G                            G         D Em
How many words have I wrote down without saying it
     D           C/G        G
If I knew how to hold you I would


[Verse 3]

Am

Sure deliverance
                        G
Lives through heartache
                 D                    Am
What a difference your new start made
                             G
Will you open up your windows
                     D  Am
I could hold you now

Your deliverance
              G
For a namesake
                 D                Am
What a difference that a day made
                               G
Will you open all your windows
                 D
I could hold you now


[Chorus]

Em
         C/G                            G           D Em
How you long for me to find what you’ve been burying
         C/G                          G                    D Em
How your hands are too small for what they’ve been carrying
         C/G                            G         D Em
How many words have I wrote down without saying it
     D           C/G        G
If I knew how to hold you I would


[Outro]
     D           C/G        G
If I knew how to hold you I would
