Intro:
      (hold)
cause jersey just 
got colder and
     (hold)
i'll have you know
I'm scared to death
     (hold)
that everything that you
            
had said to me was just
  
a lie until you left

  now i'm hoping just a 
little bit stronger

  hold me up just a
little bit longer
             
i'll be fine i swear
         
i'm just gone beyond repair


Interlude: F#--Bbm--G#---


Verse 1:

  let's write a song
            
that we can dance to
      
cause they all
      
wanna listen
just to know how
it sounds when

  i do that thing you
          
know that i do
              
when i find inspiration
                 
this is me breaking down when


Chorus 1:

jersey just 
got colder and
     
i'll have you know
I'm scared to death
     
that everything that you
            
had said to me was just
  
a lie until you left

  now i'm hoping just a 
little bit stronger

  hold me up just a
little bit longer
             
i'll be fine i swear
         
i'm just gone beyond repair


Interlude: F#--Bbm--G#---


Verse 2:

  let's write a song
            
that we can sing to
                  
and you can lead the choir
and put the hook 
where it hurts most

  and you threw a spark
             
that lit the candle
                
that set us all on fire
           
and sent a flame down
    
the east coast


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
    
and i should have
          
been your everything
    
i'm now at the end
       
of my eternity
    
and i will sleep to
         
have the darkest dreams

this just won't
seem right to me
  
i close my eyes
and beg for peace
(hold)
jersey just got colder and...
jersey just got colder and...
jersey just got colder and...


Chorus 2: Modulated from Bbm to Cm

jersey just 
got colder and
     
i'll have you know
I'm scared to death
     
that everything that you
            
had said to me was just
  
a lie until you left

  now i'm hoping just a 
little bit stronger

  hold me up just a
little bit longer
             
i'll be fine i swear
         
i'm just gone beyond repair


Cm--- end on Cm
