Hanging Heavy

C C C On the day I first met you face to face C Am Your words didn’t go to waste Am Am Climbing ladders, tying knots Am F You knew more than you were taught F F And I can’t protect you, oh F C I will betray you, so C C C F Is this not the way we always knew that it would go? G But still... Am C I regret it, oh. F G And, oh, but still... C The sky is hanging heavy. F G C Am And all of the words that are tied inside you and I F G C Am And all of the times we believed it was do or die F G C F And all of the things that we tried to make last F G All things pass, C All things pass. F Can’t you feel the heavens hanging heavy C Every time your words lay down upon me? Am Am Your heart’s a beating bird in my hands Am Am But you’re not at my command F And can’t you smell the distant sea of something missing C Past these streets so unforgiving Am Am Sure, there’s hole in my heart Am Am So I don’t know where to start F G And, oh, but still... Am C I can’t regret it, oh. F G And, oh, but still... C I knew where I was headed. F G C Am And all of the words that at times, we will hide behind (and I know it’s not the same) F G C Am And all of the years that we feared it was do or die (and you know I blame myself) F G C F Though all of these things will someday come to pass (and I feel I can’t go on…) F G For now, we’ll last... C For now, we’ll last. F So this is living Am With knowing F C Not everything is going to be ok F And we’ll keep living Am Even though, we know F C Not everything is going to be ok
