The Moving Bass is towards the end of each phrase
Ex: The D, E, F# is the bass line
Bm D E F#
I feel like a worker bee
Verse:
Bm D E F#
I feel like a worker bee
F#m/C# C# D E
Sittin' all alone in here
Em/B B F# B E
In this long deserted hive
(bass lick): E F# A B
Bm D E F#
All relations gone to pieces
F#m/C# C# D E
I drove the people close to me
Em/B B F# B E
Miles away outta my sight
E F# A B
Bm D E F#
And now I'm like a naked man
F#m/C# C# D E
Standing in the desert tryin'
Em/B B F# B A/E
Tryin' to sell a messiah for silver
Chorus:
D7
Please hold me back
G
And don't let me go
D7
When I go crazy
G7
Don't let me go
F# E D
Em/B F#m/C# G/D A G F#
All of my bridges are crumbling to dust
Em/B F#m/C# G/D
And you might be the only one that I can trust
A/C# Bm
So please hold on
Bm D E F#
F#m/C# C# D E
Em/B B F# B E
E F# A B
Bm D E F#
You were not the first I've seen
F#m/C# C# D E
Gettin' eaten from within
Em/B B F# B E
Being what you do
Bm D E F#
It's easy enough to lose a step or two
F#m/C# C# D E
Dodging bullets while building a truce
Em/B B F# B E
Don't beat yourself up about it
E F# A B
Bm D E F#
What you lost you can't get back
F#m/C# C# D E
A little perspective right here in this track
Em/B B F# B A/E
I've seen children get sold for silver
Chorus:
A D7
I could hold you back
G
But I won't treat you so
D7
I don't think you're crazy
G7
And I won't let you go
F# E D
Em/B F#m/C# G/D A G F#
I'll be that someone you can hold onto
Em/B F#m/C# G/D
But I won't be somebody holding onto you
A Bm
Weighing you down
Bm F#m/C# Em/B
(No, no, no, no, no)
(Switch to Tremolo style)
Bm D E F#
Don't have the courage to
F#m/C# C# D E
Take another step let alone two
Em/B B F# B E
I'll fall into the big black sea
E F# D B
Bm D E F#
Sure you can if I can soak in you
F#m/C# C# D E
Lean on me I will be there
Em/B B F# B A/C# A/E
And it's blue can't you see
Chorus:
D7
I won't let you go
G
And I won't hold you back
D7
I'll walk the whole mile with you
G7
Watching your back
D7
Never ever let you go
G
And never hold you back
Em/B F#m/C# G/D
I'll be forever someone you can trust
Bm F#m/C# Em/B
