Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
C Am
I have nothing to say to you
G Em
So you hung up the phone
F A
Does it make me an optimist
Am C
Or just stupid for trying at all?
G Em
Driving 60 thru inwood
F A
And your high as a kite
Am C
Plus your talk with your hands a lot
D Em
And you almost ran through the light
[Chorus]
Em Am
I was holding out for you
C Em
Every time you let me down
[Verse 2]
C Am
Picked me up in your volvo
G Em
We just sat on my street
F A
Couldn’t get all the words out
Am C
So you started yelling at me
G Em
Broke my heart in the hallway
F A
As my teacher walked by
Am C
Went to the stairwell to call my mom
Em D
Can you pick me up before I die?
[Chorus]
Em Am
I was holding out for you
C Em
Every time you let me down
[Bridge]
C Am
Getting too high in your mom’s office
G Bb
Walking the streets like nobody would notice
D Em
Fight in the pharmacy you’re buying us condoms
Am C
Someone you knew at the register saw us
D Am
I was a child and you were just damaged
F A
Brought me along, just to say that you managed
Em C
To love a nice girl, not end up like your parents
D Em
But really we all mirror them in the end
C Am
It’s funny, if it’s not then I’ll start crying
D Em
So it’s funny, if it’s not then I’ll start crying
[Chorus]
Em Am
I was holding out for you
C Em
Every time you let me down
Em Am
I was holding out for you
C Em
Every time you let me down
