Gm                          F
Breathe your smoke into my lungs
Gm                                  F
In the back of the car with you I stare into the sun
Gm                            F
Still not too old to die young
           D#      Gm           F
But lovers hold on    to everything
           D#      Gm         F
And lovers hold on    to anything

Chorus:
Cm             D#
I chased your love around a figure 8
Gm          F
I need you more than I can take
Cm              D#
You promised forever and a day
Gm7           F
And then you take it all away
Cm    D#   Gm F
way, way, way,
(And then you take it all away)
Cm    D#   Gm   F
way, way, way, way

Place a kiss on my cheekbone
Then you vanish me, I'm buried in the snow
But something tells me I'm not alone
But lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything

Chorus

           D#    A#6         F
The lovers hold on to everything
     A#     D#   A#6      F
And lovers hold on to anything
    A#     D#   A#6         F
So lovers hold on to everything
           D#m  A#6        F
And lovers hold on to anything

Chorus:
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day
And then you take it all away
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day
And then you take it all away
(-way, -way -way, -way, -way, -way)
And then you take it all away
(-way, -way, -way, -way)
