Capo 4

[Verse 1]
             G 
Well, a goodbye never seems finished
                        C                  G
Just like these songs that I write
Em                             C
They hang aloft like stars in the night
       Em                                          C
'Til there's nothing left but the illusion of light
        D C                                  Em
And you, you could've been mine
          G
Your mother, she's an actress
                   C                          G
And we're all putting on the play
Em                                   C
Give some conviction, pretend it's all real
Em                          C
Try to ignore how sad it all feels
         D               C                                Em
Yes, try not to break her heart if you can

[Chorus]
                C
Hold o-o-o-n
                                                 Em
To whatever you can until it's gone
                 C
Carry o-o-o-n
                                                       D C G
For none of us will be here for too lo-o-o-ng

[Verse 2]
      G                                               C                            G
I'll try not to let the world and its darkness bring me down
Em                                     C
Think of the love and the beauty I've found
Em                                 C
The simple things that I've left behind
D                 C                      Em
Oh the way he'd make me laugh

[Chorus]
                           C
But I'll hold o-o-o-n
                                            Em
To whatever I can until it's gone
                     C
I'll carry o-o-o-n
                                                       D C          D C G
For none of us will be here for too lo-ong, lo-o-o-ng

[Bridge]
E F E F

E                               F     E
But you're a distant star
                                   F         E
My darling, you're so far away
                                         F    E
You were never meant to stay
                       F    E
I reach out to see
                                    F     E
If you're still here with me
                             F                C
Babe we could've made it easy
                G
Couldn't we?

[Outro]
        G
Now I will never know you
                      C                          G
You are just someone passing by
        Em                        C
And it makes me sad to think about
             Em                              C
All the stories and fates that I'll be without
          D
But I think I'm getting used to the silence now
