Have you ever held something until you hands were aching?
         F                            C                        Dm7   C
And then let it go and watched it fall and listened to it breaking?
 Am                       C           Am                  C
I have held back time and tide when all the world was plenty
    Am                   C           F
But now my hands are open wide, open wide and empty

    C                                                      Dm7  C
For every breath that leaves me now, another comes to fill me
        F                     C                        Dm7             C
And for every death that grieves me now, the next will surely kill me
          Am                    C             Am            C
For those borders crumble every day, the faultlines are showing
      Am                        C           F
And all I thought was here to stay slowly is going

[Verse]
C                            Dm7                  C
History abandons us and we're holding on, holding on
   F                    C                       Dm7     C
To nothing but dirt and dust, we're holding on, holding on
            Am                      C           Am            C
While those borders crumble every day, the faultlines are showing
     Am                           C         F
And all I thought was here to stay slowly is going
