Intro

Dm--F--Am--C--Dm--Am--Dm--C

Verse

Moving in slow like the smoke

From your cigarette

Every step closer's a step

That we both will regret

Keeping a tally but who can keep track?

Your overreacting is taking me back

To a time better left alone

Chorus

Holding on to the phone

Holding on to this glass

Holding on to the memory of what didn't last

Waiting for betters words; they'll never come

So dry your eyes, it's better now it's done

F--Am--C--Dm--Am--Dm--C

Verse

Keep a tight grip like a child

Holding onto a swing set

Waiting and hoping to find what i can't figure out yet

Please don't, unless this is something you mean

Another nightmare instead of a dream

Better left alone

Chorus

Holding on to the phone

Holding on to this glass

Holding on to the memory of what didn't last

Waiting for betters words; they'll never come

So dry your eyes

Holding on to the phone

Holding on to this glass

Holding on to the memory of what didn't last

Waiting for betters words; they'll never come

So dry your eyes, it's better now it's done

Solo

Dm--Bb--Dm--Bb--Dm--C--C (the actual solo is in F if you want to

figure it out)

Bridge

I never lost so much

I never lost so much

I never lost so much

Chorus

Holding on to the phone

Holding on to this glass

Holding on to the memory of what didn't last

Waiting for betters words; they'll never come

So dry your eyes

Holding on to the phone

Holding on to this glass

Holding on to the memory of what didn't last

Waiting for betters words; they'll never come

So dry your eyes, it's better now it's done
