[Intro: Mike Shinoda]
E5
This is not the end, this is not the beginning
E5
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision
E5
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm
E5
Though the words sound steady something empty's within them
E5
We say yeah with fists flying up in the air
E5
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
E5
Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
E5
Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear
[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
E
Waiting for the end to come
A
Wishing I had strength to stand
F#m
This is not what I had planned
E B
It's out of my control
E
Flying at the speed of light
A
Thoughts were spinning in my head
F#m
So many things were left unsaid
E B
It's hard to let you go
[Hook: Chester Bennington]
C#m A
I know what it takes to move on
C#m A
I know how it feels to lie
E
All I want to do
B
Is trade this life for something new
C#m A
Holding on to what I haven't got
[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
E
Sitting in an empty room
A
Trying to forget the past
F#m
This was never meant to last
E B
I wish it wasn't so
[Hook: Chester Bennington]
C#m A
I know what it takes to move on
C#m A
I know how it feels to lie
E
All I want to do
B
Is trade this life for something new
C#m A
Holding on to what I haven't got
[Verse 3]
E5
What was left when that fire was gone
E5
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
E5
All caught up in the eye of the storm
E5
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
E5
And I don't even know what kind of things I said
E5
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
E5
So I'm picking up the pieces, now where to begin
E5
The hardest part of ending is starting again
[Outro: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
E C#m B
E
All I want to do
Is trade this life for something new
C#m B
Holding on to what I haven't got
E
This is not the end, this is not the beginning
E
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision
C#m B
(I'm holding on to what I haven't got)
E
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady something empty's within them
We say yeah with fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
C#m B
(Holding on to what I haven't got)
Until we dead it, forget it let it all disappear
