This is not intended to sound like the album. This is how I play a stripped down version of the song with a solo acoustic guitar. I was looking down at you smiling underneath For once I held you tight, but shadow hands grabbed at me You're head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head It's when you needed me, so I listened to what you said Look another year went by, They keep passing by, But damn I didn't even die, Too old and slow I've grown, I fought time but lost It was love like a callus you scarred enough to be Tough and immune, your body adapts you see To all above my head, and all below my feet No that's one freedom you'll never take from me Look another year went by, They keep passing by, But damn I didn't even die, Too old and slow I've grown, I fought time but lost To criticize and judge, how did I end up here With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear Hold tight, hold tight x2 To criticize and judge, how did I end up here With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear To criticize and judge, how did I end up here With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight Look another year went by Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight ... lyrics from
