[Verse 1]
[F]I’ve been holding on too
[Dm]tight to let you [Am]go
Now [F]I’m sinking [Dm]in the m[D]ire[F#m]
[F]Wish we could go [Dm]back to how it [Am]was
But [F]we’re too close [Dm]to the w[D]ire[F#m][A]

If the wolf cries “boy”
Keep calm, carry [F#m]on

[Verse 3]
Dead among the [Am]living
Nothing to believe in
Mak[G]ing sin[Am]ners [Bb]of sa[F#m]ints[Bb][Am]
All the fears unfaced
Swarming all around me [G]like ant[F#m]s
[Bb]As t[Am]he fl[Bb]ame i[Am]s prised
[F]away [Am]from the moth[F#m][F#][Bb]
[Am]Stronger in their numbers
Turn[G]ing on each [Am]other
Is [G]this out [Am]of our hands?
[F]Holding

[Verse 4]
too [Dm]tight to let you [Am]go
[F]I’m sinking [Dm]in the m[D]ire[F#m]
