_ _ [C#] October throws herself [B] before my feet [C#] And the sky goes [F#] powder blue, [B] holding her [C#] breath
from me _ I never [F#] thought myself a [B] city shoe
_ [C#] But it's made it [F#] go the day And it breaks my [C#] heart in two
[D#m] Cause I want to [A#] hold on to it [B] But there's nothing [F#] to hold
[D#m] And the universe [A#] is laughing [B] Cause all a boy can really [C#] do is watch a boy unfold
I will listen [F#] to the city [B] music _ [C#] Lying past the [F#] end of the dark I [B] thought
you'd tremble [C#] in my touch But there's everything [F#] I love I [B] can't explain _
[C#] Like if the world should [F#] just sit there Only music [C#] will remain
[D#m] And I want to [A#] hold on to it [B] But there's nothing [F#] to hold
_ [D#m] And the universe [A#] is laughing _ [B] Cause all a boy can really do [C#] is watch a boy unfold
I'll hold [F#] on to [B] it
_ [C#] I'll hold [F#] _ _ [B] _ [F#]
on to _ [C#] it
I'll hold on [B] to it
