Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Ooooooooooooh, ooooooooooooh

 He told her when she played,

 wings sprouted from her shoulder blades

 And every bone inside her seemed to change.

 So on her fingers moved

 Over notes she hoped would soothe,

 His jagged soul, carressing every groove.

 Oh and how she longed to say

 That she'd missed his troubled ways,

 Oh and if she could she'd do it all again.

 Cause sometimes every word has been used,

 And theres nothing left to do

 But hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune.

 A year ago today New York City seemed to fall away,

 To leave only the bed in which they laid.

 But an island is just that

 Oh and when the world came flooding back

 All pillars underneath them began to crack

 Now he's sitting on her floor

 She's playing all the minor chords

 Wishing so damn hard he'd kiss her like before

 Sometimes every word has been used,

 And there’s nothing left to do

 But hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune.

 Yeah hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune.

 Ooooooooooooh, oooh

 Cause sometimes every inch of you is bruised,

 And there’s nothing left to prove

 So just hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune.

 Yeah hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune.
