Chord progression arranged for the Ukulele

Gm                      A#                         D#
   Pull it out, turn it up, what's your favorite song?
Gm                          A#                        D#
   That's mine, I've been crying to it since I was young
Gm                              A#                        D#
   I know there's someone out there feeling just like I feel
                              F
   I know they're waiting up, I know they're waiting to heal
Gm                            A#
   And I've been holding my breath
                          D#
   Are you holding your breath
    F                            A#     F
   For too many years to count?
                       Gm        D#
   Too many years to count


Chorus

Gm          A#     D#        F
   And we waited for the sirens that never come
Gm         A#                 D#
   And we only write by the moon
     F
   Every word handwritten
Gm         A#                 D#
   And to ease the loss of youth
            F                      Gm
   And how many years I've missed you
     A#              D#
   Pages plead forgiveness
     F
   Every word handwritten 
 

Gm   A#   D#  (x2)


Verse 2 

Gm                    A#                      D#
   Let it out, let me in, take a hold of my hand
Gm                               A#                           D#
   There's nothing like another soul that's been cut up the same
Gm                            A#                    D#
   And did you want to drive without a word in between?
              F                              Gm
   I can understand, you need a minute to breathe
                       A#          D#         F      A#              
   And to sew up the seams after all this defeat
F                   Gm      D#
   All this defeat


Chorus

Gm          A#     D#        F
   And we waited for the sirens that never come
Gm         A#                 D#
   And we only write by the moon
     F
   Every word handwritten
Gm         A#                 D#
   And to ease the loss of youth
            F                      Gm
   And how many years I've missed you
     A#              D#
   Pages plead forgiveness
     F
   Every word handwritten 


Bridge/Outro - A# / Gm / F / D#  (x2)

A#               Gm        F            D#
   Here in the dark, I cherish the moonlight
A#          Gm            F             D#             A#
   I'm in love with the way you're in love with the night
            Gm           F       D#       A#    Gm    F    D#
   And it travels from heart to limb to pen

A#                 F                         Gm
   And we waited for the sirens that never come
                             D#
   And we only write by the moon

   Every word handwritten (starting here, simply repeat A#/F/Gm/D# )
   Every word handwritten

   And with this pen, I thee wed
   From my heart to your distress

                   C <----------- Ending on a final strum of C
