Take My Hand (Joshua Tree version)

Intro: C Cmaj7

Verse 1:
C          Cmaj7
 a painted heart on a sidewalk
C           Cmaj7           F
 a bleedin' sun on a silver screen

I feel my ego when I talk
                        C
Lost myself in the in-between
        Cmaj7
Lustful eyes filled with love now
C        Cmaj7         Am
 Sending in every cavalry
                               F
a few more souls on the bus now

Pre-chorus:
                           G   Am
Shut my eyes right at seventeen
       F
Always hits me
G Am       F
I'm always shifting

Chorus:
C             Cmaj7
Take my hand, now and forever
C              Cmaj7                    F
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?

Oh, man, look in the mirror
F                                    C
Take my hand, and don't you ever let go
               Cmaj7
(Take my hand, now and forever)
C              Cmaj7
(Take my hand, now and forever)
                   Am
Don't you ever let go

(Take my hand, now and forever)
F
(Take my hand, now and forever)

Verse 2:
C            Cmaj7
 Told myself maybe someday
C         Cmaj7               F
 I'd fall down from the centerpiece

I treat my mind like an ashtray
                  C
I owe you an apology
         Cmaj7
Breakin' plans on a Sunday
C       Cmaj7                 Am
 With myself, maybe make some peace
                       F
I forgot every birthday

Pre-chorus:
                          G  Am
Open eyes right at twenty-three
       F
Always hits me
     G Am       F
That I'm always shifting

Chorus:
C             Cmaj7
Take my hand, now and forever
C              Cmaj7                    F
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?

Oh, man, look in the mirror
F                                    C
Take my hand, and don't you ever let go
               Cmaj7
(Take my hand, now and forever)
C              Cmaj7
(Take my hand, now and forever)
                   Am
Don't you ever let go

(Take my hand, now and forever)
F
(Take my hand, now and forever)

Bridge:
Am
Pick apart all of the pieces
          G
While I'm running out of time
Am
Iron out all of the creases
         G
And just hang it out to dry
F                  C
Shallow hearts for shallow minds
     G
That ache to be alive
   F              C
We fall apart and redefine
     G
What keeps you up at night

Buildup:
    C             Cmaj7
Oh, take my hand, now and forever
C              Cmaj7                  Am
Where I stand, just as you losing yourself again
                  F
Look in the mirror

Chorus:
C             Cmaj7
Take my hand, now and forever
C              Cmaj7                    F
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?

Oh, man, look in the mirror
F                                    C
Take my hand, and don't you ever let go
               Cmaj7
(Take my hand, now and forever)
C              Cmaj7
(Take my hand, now and forever)
                   Am
Don't you ever let go

(Take my hand, now and forever)
F
(Take my hand, now and forever)

Outro:
C              Cmaj7
(Take my hand, now and forever
C             Cmaj7
Take my hand, now and forever)

How can you live and let die?

Young man, look in the mirror
F                                    C
Take my hand, and don't you ever let go
