Iris Hold Me Close

C        Am
The star,
               Em    D
that gives us light
                  C   Am
Has been gone a while
                  Em     D
But it’s not an illusion
     C      Am
The ache
        Em  D
In my heart
             C Am          Em   D
Is so much a part of who I am

[Pre-Chorus]
G                  Am
Something in your eyes
          Em                 D
Took a thousand years to get here

G                  Am
Something in your eyes
          Em                 D
Took a thousand years, a thousand 
years

[Chorus]
        C Am             Em      
Hold me close, hold me close and 
               D
don’t let me go.
        C Am             Em      
Hold me close like I’m someone 
               D
that you might know
        C  Am        Em          
Hold me close the darkness just 
        D
lets us see
       C    Am
Who we are
               Em          D
I’ve got your life inside of me

[Verse]
C  Am       Em D              C
Once we are born, we begin to 
    Am
forget
                   Em  D
The very reason we came
    C   Am
But you
              Em  D
I’m sure I’ve met
                  C                
Long before the night the stars 
   Am
went out
                   Em    D
We’re meeting up again

[Chorus]
        C Am             Em      
Hold me close, hold me close and 
               D
don’t let me go.
        C Am             Em      
Hold me close like I’m someone 
               D
that you might know
        C  Am        Em          
Hold me close the darkness just 
        D
lets us see
       C    Am
Who we are
               Em          D
I’ve got your life inside of me

Iris… Iris…

[EDD LE]
G Am Em                 D
        The stars are bright but do 
they know
G Am Em                    D
        The universe is beautiful 
but cold

[OUTRO/CHORUS]
                    C
You took me by the hand
    Am                       Em
I thought that I was leading you
            D                C
But it was you made me your man
  Am
Machine
   Em
I dream
       D
Where you are
C               Am
Iris standing in the hall
     Em              D
She tells me I can do it all
C                   Am
Iris wakes to my nightmares
       Em                 D
Don’t fear the world it isn’t there
C              Am
Iris playing on the strand
      Em               D
She buries the boy beneath the sand,
C               Am            Em
Iris says that I will be the death 
of her
D
It was not me
