Intro: E-B-A/F#-A  
Verse 1: E-B-A/F#-A  
Accidentally, on purpose
I dropped my watch behind the tire
Threw my alarm clock inside the fireplace  
Yeah, and I put the parental control on,
On the news and the weather channel
I'm outside in my robe I'm looking for you, oh
Refrain:
    C#mIf everything'd stop
    I'd listen for your hBeart
    To lead me right to you, yAeah
    I tried every way I can
Chorus:
But it's harder to hold Eon
to your hands and the hands of tBime
I need a hand, girl, I'm trying to hold A/F#on
Losing strength in these hands of mAine
I need you here
I'm trying to hold C#mon
Standing here, open hands and BI
Know I can't do this alA/F#one
Hold on, oh hold oAn
Lemme hold Eon (hold on to my hBands)
Hold on to my A/F#hands (don't let go of my hands)
ADon't let go
Verse 2: E-B-A/F#-A  
I don't think this is working
Freezing so hard my hands are hurting
Ought to let go in the first place
And I put the phone on the front lawn
Everything that shows time is gone
I'm outside in this cold
Still looking for you
