Capo 3
Em Am Em Em Am Em
Ooooooooooooh, ooooooooooooh
Em
He told her when she played,
Am Em
wings sprouted from her shoulder blades
G D
And every bone inside her seemed to change.
Em
So on her fingers moved
Am Em
Over notes she hoped would soothe,
G D
His jagged soul, carressing every groove.
C G
Oh and how she longed to say
Em D
That she'd missed his troubled ways,
C G D
Oh and if she could she'd do it all again.
C G
Cause sometimes every word has been used,
Em D
And theres nothing left to do
C G D G6*
But hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune.
Em Am Em
A year ago today New York City seemed to fall away,
G D
To leave only the bed in which they laid.
Em
But an island is just that
Am Em
Oh and when the world came flooding back
G D
All pillars underneath them began to crack
C G
Now he's sitting on her floor
Em D
She's playing all the minor chords
C G D
Wishing so damn hard he'd kiss her like before
C G
Sometimes every word has been used,
Em D
And there's nothing left to do
C G D G
But hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune.
C G D Em Am Em
Yeah hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune.
Em Am Em Am Em
Ooooooooooooh, oooh
C G
Cause sometimes every inch of you is bruised,
Em D
And there's nothing left to prove
C G D G
So just hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune.
C G D G6*
Yeah hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune.
