Holding my loved one tight...

On the softness of her laugh,

I could almost make my bed

But the racket of her absence join

Dmaj7 G F A

The sirens blaring, ringing in my head

F A F A

Holding nothing tight, holding nothing tight

F G

With my eyes so wide

In a house without a back door

I was looking for a fire escape

And I'll be ripping up the floorboards

Just trying to get away

F G F G

From this sleeplessness, Sleeplessness, sleeplessness

Holding her so tight, holding her so tight

But my eyes are wide
