[Verse 1]
D B
Maybe I’m crazy I've
D D
Been talking to myself at night
G E G
And I'm feelin' so alone
D B
If I could get the words out right
D D
To tell you how I feel I might
G E G
But they're comin' out so wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Then the voices they come rushin' in
D
Like a ten ton truck into soft cement
G
Now the words make sense but I can't repeat
D
Because sense don't make what it used to be
A G
I'm here my love but I'm floating, baby
[Chorus]
D
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
G A
You tied a tether here to keep me close
D
I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell
G A
But it got better when you didn't go
D
Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here
G A
And I won't need any more
D A
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
G A
You know I'd really hate to see me float
[Verse 2]
D B
I tremble when I see your eyes
D D
I saw them in a dream last night
G E G
And they heard me sing a song
D B
I never cared for fancy art
D D
Or poetry on old guitars
G E G
But they always sing along
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Then the notes fill up like a big balloon
D
As I'm drifting upwards away from you
G
Now I'm screaming mad with two clenched hands
D
Will beauty come if I don't land?
A G
I'm here my love but I'm floating, baby
[Chorus]
D
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
G A
You tied a tether here to keep me close
D
I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell
G A
But it got better when you didn't go
D
Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here
G A
And I won't need any more
D A
Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
G A
You know I'd really hate to see me float
[Bridge]
“Write it to myself at night: as long as you're here I'll be all alright”
