 F 
Hold it in love 
Am                  G                F 
The river in your mouth is pouring out 
F 
Water takes the 
Am                  G                F 
Shape of all that it surrounds 
F 
Yeah I know 
Am                  G                F 
I've been trying so hard to keep in time 
Am                  G                F 
With all of the hours in your day 
 
Am                  G                F 
 
F 
Hold it in babe 
Am                  G                F 
Who let you out among the crowd? 
F 
Not like that 
Am                  G                F 
These streets will tear you down 
How it is 
Am                  G                F 
Under my skin, now you are 
Am                  G                F 
Pictures of all you?ll ever be 
 
Am                  G                F 
 
G      Am     G      F 
I am not myself

C                F 
Okay 
 
F 
Hold it in love 
Am                  G                F 
The river in your mouth is pouring out 
Water takes the 
Am                  G                F 
Shape of all that it surrounds 
Yeah I know 
Am                  G                F 
I been trying so hard to keep in time 
Am                  G                F 
With all of the sounds that you make 
 
Am                  G                F 
 
F 
Hold it in babe 
Am                  G                F 
Come at you from both sides of your mind 
Thick and thin these 
Am                  G                F 
Walls you?ll always stand behind 
Are sick and tired 
Am                  G                F 
Oh I beg for the world to change 
But it don?t 
Am                  G                F 
Oh I lean on you and that?s the thing 
 
Am                  G                F 
 
G      Am     G      F 
I am not myself 
C 
Today 
G      Am     G      F 
I am not feeling 
C                F 
Okay 
 
Am 
And you 
G                                          F 
Showed me hope amidst the harlequins in spring 
Am 
And you 
G                                          F 
Told me life was learning how to be your friend 
 
Am                  G                F
