B
Ooh, you wanted it too late
                   E
You wanted it too late now
   B
I can't keep track of all your tears
                      E
You're crying rivers way too long

And, oooh, I'm tired of loneliness
But I'm way more tired of wasted time
So still, you barely look alive
These shocks will do you so much good

B                               A        E
Just keep your wits about you, don't let it end you
B                             A      E
And summon everything you've held up in reserve
B                             A      E
Don't fall for every single stolen glance and wink
B                          A       E
Try to keep your heart on higher shelves once

Chorus:
B
What are you holding back
                        A                   E
I know your wild horses on the inside of you
(Stop holding back)
B
Now slip the tattoo on
               A                   E
Serenity, its gone from red to blue
(Stop holding back)
B
I'll make you of this love
                               A      E
And no you don't have time without it
(Stop holding back)
B
I know I don't know much
                    A       E
But I do know when to preach
(Stop holding back)

Ooh, you wanted it to work
You wanted it to work so much
But it's been broken in your hands
The minute that it found your hands

Ooh, you're trying not to blink
For once you wanna see what is
Ooh, it hasn't finished you
It's only that it feels that way

Just keep your wits about you, don't let it end you
And summon everything you've held up in reserve
Don't fall for every single stolen glance and wink
Try to keep your heart on higher shelves for once

Chorus

(Don't hold back)
(Don't hold back)
(Don't hold back)

(Don't hold back)
(Don't hold back)
(Don't hold back)

(Don't hold back) Girl, you're wide awake
(Don't hold back) Girl, you're wide awake
(Don't hold back) Girl, you're wide awake
(Stop holding back)

(Don't hold back) Girl, you're wide awake
(Don't hold back) Girl, you're wide awake
(Don't hold back) Girl, you're wide awake
(Stop holding back)
