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
        F
Always hits me
G Am         F
I'm always shifting

Chorus:
C
Take my hand, now and forever
                                         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
(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)

Told myself maybe someday
I'd fall down from the centrepiece
I treat my mind like an ashtray
I owe you an apology
Breaking plans on a Sunday
With myself, maybe make some peace
I forgot every birthday

Open eyes right at twenty-three
Always hits me
That I'm always shifting

Chorus

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

Oh, take my hand, now and forever
Where I stand, just as you're losing yourself again
Look in the mirror

Chorus

(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
How can you live and let die?
Young man, look in the mirror
Take my hand and don't you ever—
(Take my hand, now and forever) And forever
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
A painted heart on a sidewalk
A bleeding sun on a silver screen
I feel my ego when I talk
Lost myself in the in-between
Lustful eyes filled with love now
Sending in every cavalry
A few more souls on the bus now
