Am C Em 4x
[Verse 1]
Am Em
The road is alight with quiet lonely deaths and to this day
Am Em
The guns we stored away show we were soldiers once but left
Am Em
The battles unfought, the lessons untaught
Am
But now we've brought you here, Celine
Em
Scarred with festival wounds
Am
And it seems like...
[Chorus]
C Em Am
It's not an easy thing to hold you close
C Em Am
It's not an easy thing to hold you dear
C Em Am
It's not an easy thing to lift you up, regardless
C Em Am
It's not an easy thing to hold you down
[Verse 2]
Am Em
And it's all in the fight, it's quite like the old men said:
Am Em
It's all going to hell like innocence
Am
That dumb leper who lost his bell
Em Am
You're wandering the world meaning no harm, finding no calm
Em
War like peace is tidy and cleat at a distance
Am
Yet still it seems like...
[Chorus]
C Em Am
It's not an easy thing to hold you close
C Em Am
It's not an easy thing to hold you dear
C Em Am
It's not an easy thing to lift you up, regardless
C Em Am
It's not an easy thing to hold you down
[Bridge]
Am Em
Hand in hand, with measured steps and slow
Am
We take the solitary way
Em
Earthly strong and earthly wise
Am
Now go name your fate, name your demise
[Skit]
Am C
Ich fürchte mich so vor der Menschen Wort
Em Am
Ich bin zu Hause zwischen Tag und Traum
C
Sie sprechen alles so deutlich aus
Em
Zwischen Tag und Traum
Am C
Und hier ist Beginn und das Ende ist dort
Em
Und wachen
Am
Mich bangt auch ihr Sinn
C Em
Zwischen Tag und Traum
Am
Zwischen Tag und Traum
[Chorus]
Am C Em Am
It's not an easy thing to hold you close
C Em Am
It's not an easy thing to hold you dear
C Em Am
It's not an easy thing to lift you up, regardless
C Em Am
It's not an easy thing to hold you down
