Take My Hand

	  		
Intro C  C7M   

Verse 1:
C          C7M   
 A painted heart on a sidewalk 
C           C7M             F 
 A bleedin' sun on a silver screen 

I feel my ego when I talk 
                        C 
Lost myself in the in-between 
        C7M   
Lustful eyes filled with love now 
C        C7M           Am 
 Sending in every cavalry 
                               F 
A few more souls on the bus now
 

  
Pre-Chorus
                         G   Am 
Shut my eyes right at seventeen 
       F 
Always hits me 
G Am       F 
I'm always shifting 

C             C7M   
Take my hand, now and forever 
C              C7M                      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 
               C7M   
(Take my hand, now and forever) 
C              C7M   
(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) 


Verse 2:
C            C7M   
 Told myself maybe someday 
C         C7M                 F 
 I'd fall down from the centerpiece 

I treat my mind like an ashtray 
                  C 
I owe you an apology 
         C7M   
Breakin' plans on a Sunday 
C       C7M                   Am 
 With myself, maybe make some peace 
                       F 
I forgot every birthday 

 
Pre-Chorus
                         G  Am 
Open eyes right at twenty-three 
       F 
Always hits me 
     G Am       F 
That I'm always shifting
 

C             C7M   
Take my hand, now and forever 
C              C7M                      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 
               C7M   
(Take my hand, now and forever) 
C              C7M   
(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) 


Bridge:
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 

    C             C7M   
Oh, take my hand, now and forever 
C              C7M                    Am 
Where I stand, just as you losing yourself again 
                  F 
Look in the mirror 

C             C7M   
Take my hand, now and forever 
C              C7M                      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 
               C7M   
(Take my hand, now and forever) 
C              C7M   
(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) 

C              C7M   
(Take my hand, now and forever 
C             C7M   
Take my hand, now and forever) 
                         F 
How can you live and let die? 

Young man, look in the mirror 
F                                    C 
Take my hand, and don't you ever let go 
               C7M

C             C7M   
Take my hand, now and forever 
F 
Take my hand, now and forever 
F                             C 
Take my hand, now and forever) 

A painted heart on a sidewalk 
C                           F 
 A bleeding sun on a silver screen 

I feel my ego when I talk 
F 
 Lost myself in the in-between 
C 
 Lustful eyes filled with love now 
C 
 Sending in every cavalry 
F 
 A few more souls on the bus now
