E        Am             E
Honesty, really is the hardest thing
    Am               C#m                    F#
And all the twisted truths you bring, won't let me in
 A                B
Tell me how it ends
   E          Am               E
I long to be bold enough for bravery
Am                    C#m
'Cause this mess you made of me
       C
Has gravity
 G                  A#            F#m
Enough to hide the lie you kept so long
                       Bsus4
Of how you did me wrong

Chorus:
    B                  E
But I don't want this fight
 B                   C#m
Put your hands in mine
 B                 A
Hold me close and move with me
   E            F#m
Remember how we used to shine
B                   E
I don't want this fight
 B              C#m
Set the world alight
      B                     A
Just hold me and close and move with me
      E             F#m          B         E
With every beat, remember how we used to shine

Look for me
I'm not somewhere out of reach
We’re not two ships lost at sea
There’s got to be
More to this than rivalry, I know
'Cause we're not made of stone

Chorus:
And I don't want this fight
Put your hands in mine
Hold me close and move with me
Remember how we used to shine
I don't want this fight
Set the words alight
Just hold me close and move with me
With every beat, remember how we used to shine

E
Remember when, you stayed round
  F#m
Remember when, you showed me how
   G#m                             F#m
To dance all night, to cry out loud
   E
Remember when our love was new
  F#m
Remember what I said to you
       G#m
You're all I want
                     A
Well, that's still true

Chorus:
But I don't want this fight
Put your hands in mine
Hold me close and move with me
Remember how we used to shine
I don't want this fight
Set the words alight
Just hold me close and move with me
With every beat, remember how we used to shine

Remember when you stayed round
Remember when you showed me how
To dance all night, to cry out loud
I don't want this fight
Remember when our love was new
Remember what I said to you
You're all I want
Well, that's still true
I don't want this fight
