G C/G
[Verse 1]
G C/G G
You didn’t know your own heart
C/G G
Or how it might fit
C/G Em
I’m in the house that you grew up in, where you
D G
Gave me it
C/G G
Where your brother read books
C/G G
While your sister slept in
C/G Em D
And where we laughed over imitations on the internet
[Chorus]
Em
C/G G D Em
How you long for me to find what you’ve been burying
C/G G D Em
How your hands are too small for what they’ve been carrying
C/G G D Em
How many words have I wrote down without saying it
D C/G G
If I knew how to hold you I would
G
[Verse 2]
C/G G
You said it makes you feel small
C/G G
That your heart is so big
C/G Em
But you just gave a piece for some kind of
D G
Counterfeit
C/G G
Now the sun has gone down
C/G G
On a road that we chose
C/G Em
You know your words are a light, you should
D
Lead with those
[Chorus]
Em
C/G G D Em
How you long for me to find what you’ve been burying
C/G G D Em
How your hands are too small for what they’ve been carrying
C/G G D Em
How many words have I wrote down without saying it
D C/G G
If I knew how to hold you I would
[Verse 3]
Am
Sure deliverance
G
Lives through heartache
D Am
What a difference your new start made
G
Will you open up your windows
D Am
I could hold you now
Your deliverance
G
For a namesake
D Am
What a difference that a day made
G
Will you open all your windows
D
I could hold you now
[Chorus]
Em
C/G G D Em
How you long for me to find what you’ve been burying
C/G G D Em
How your hands are too small for what they’ve been carrying
C/G G D Em
How many words have I wrote down without saying it
D C/G G
If I knew how to hold you I would
[Outro]
D C/G G
If I knew how to hold you I would
