         E
I had a hole in the middle
          G#m
Where the lightning went through
           C#m
I told my friends not to worry
                B
My wife would know how to fix it
 E
Hole in the middle
           G#m
I'm seeing less of you
            C#m
Now i'm not going anywhere
              B
And I don't know what I'll do

Chorus:
     G#m                 B
It's easy to lose your grip
      E  G#
It's easy

I never tell my decisions
to the ones I adore
I just show up like a bible
breather outside the door
But when I look out the window
I see Girls on TV
Living and dying in L.A.
and it means nothing to me

Chorus:
It's easy to lose your grip
It's easy
It's easy to lose your grip
It's easy

So I walk through the streets I love
And I'm led to the house I built
So I walk through the streets I love
And I lay in your bed again

G#m                           B
Wake up your saints Jenny, I need them
          C#m
Jenny, I need them
   G#
Today
Wake up your saints Jenny, I need them
Jenny, I need them
Today

I didn't have to explain to her
that I wasn't deaf
She sat me down and lit some
colored candles over my head
She said you're right, it's a
living, but you're wrong for the life
You know you never should've
listened to my father's advice

Chorus:
It's easy to lose your grip
It's easy
It's easy to lose your grip
It's easy

So I walk through the streets I love
And I'm led to the house I built
So I walk through the streets I love
And I lay in your bed again

Wake up your saints Jenny, I need them
Jenny, I need them
Today

Wake up your saints Jenny, I need them
Jenny, I need them
Today
