World In My Hands

Bm
Lost on my own
      G
In search of something real
      D
How cruel to be exposed
        A
To everything that I can’t touch but still feel



[Verse 1]
Bm
How'd I end up here?
         A
So uncomfortable
                            G
I'm a stranger in this body
                       A
The world's an ugly place
                                 Bm
But that's a fact that fate has brought me
                   A
I had to disappear
                         G
So it will all just go away
                           A
Now the end is drawing near
                                    Em
And God I wish you would've stayed


[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em                                               G
It cuts deep cause our hearts are still attached
                                                      Em
A deadly touch spreads an itch that can't be scratched
                                             G
Sometimes I wish it would all just fade to black
            A
I won't go back

[Chorus]
         Bm
Now I'm lost on my own
     G
In search of something real
      D
How cruel to be exposed
      A
To everything that I can’t touch but still feel
Bm
Lost on my own

          G
They'll never understand
      D
How tragic to suppose
         A                               D  A G A
That I almost held the world in my hands

[Verse 2]
    Bm
A captive beauty queen
     A
So untouchable
                         G
In the town that has disowned me
                   A
Nice guys finish last
                                       Em
And that's a fact that she has shown me


[Pre-Chorus 2]
                                              G
He made the cut but she deserves a better man
                                       Em
I won't rust like the liars and letterman
                                             G
Hedge my bets 'cause it can't hurt to pretend
            A
Until the end


[Chorus]
Bm
Now I'm lost on my own
      G
In search of something real
      D
How cruel to be exposed
      A                                       Bm
To everything that I can’t touch but still feel
Bm
Lost on my own
           G
They'll never understand
      D
How tragic to suppose
         A
That I almost held the world in my hands

[Bridge]
     Em               G
So tell the town below
                  D
As death took hold
                  A
You watched helplessly
        Em
But To hell with letting go
  G
Cause when it snows
 D                      A
It falls to you from me
                       Em  G D A
It falls to you from me
Em G D A

[Chorus]
Bm
Lost on my own
      G
In search of something real
      D
How cruel to be exposed
      A                                       Bm
To everything that I can’t touch but still feel

Lost on my own
          G
They'll never understand
       D
How tragic to suppose
          A                        Em
That I almost held the world in my hands

[Ending]
    Em                G
To hell with letting go
                   D
Cause when it snows
                     A
It falls to you from me
