 Ooooooooooooh,  ooooooooooooh
 He  told her when she played,
 wings sprouted  from her shoulder  blades
 And every  bone inside her seemed to change.
 So on  her fingers moved
 Over notes  she hoped would soothe,
 His jagged  soul, carressing every groove.
 Oh and how  she longed to say
 That she'd missed  his troubled ways,
 Oh and if  she could she'd do  it all again.
 Cause sometimes every  word has been used,
 And theres nothing  left to do
 But hold  the one you can't  have in the sweet  arms of a tune.
 A year  ago today New York City  seemed to fall  away,
 To leave  only the bed in which they laid.
 But an island  is just that
 Oh and when  the world came flooding  back
 All pillars  underneath them began to crack
 Now he's sitting  on her floor
 She's playing all  the minor chords
 Wishing so  damn hard he'd kiss  her like before
 Sometimes every  word has been used,
 And there’s nothing  left to do
 But hold  the one you can't  have in the sweet  arms of a tune.
 Yeah hold  the one you can't  love in the sweet  arms of a tune.
 Ooooooooooooh,  oooh
 Cause sometimes every  inch of you is bruised,
 And there’s nothing  left to prove
 So just hold  the one you can't  have in the sweet  arms of a tune.
 Yeah hold  the one you can't  love in the sweet  arms of a tune.

Oo[Em]oooo[Am]ooo[Em]oooh, oooooooo[Em]ooo[Am]oh [Em]

H[Em]e told her when she played,
wings spr[Am]outed from her sh[Em]oulder blades
And e[G]very bone inside her seemed to [D]change.
So o[Em]n her fingers moved
Over n[Am]otes she hoped would s[Em]oothe,
His ja[G]gged soul, carressing every g[D]roove.

Oh and h[C]ow she longed to s[G]ay
That she'd mi[Em]ssed his troubled w[D]ays,
Oh and i[C]f she could she'd [G]do it all aga[D]in.
Cause sometimes [C]every word has been [G]used,
And theres [Em]nothing left to d[D]o
But h[C]old the one you [G]can't have in the [D]sweet arms of a [G6]tune.

A ye[Em]ar ago today New York C[Am]ity seemed to f[Em]all away,
To l[G]eave only the bed in which they l[D]aid.
But an [Em]island is just that
Oh and w[Am]hen the world came f[Em]looding back
All pi[G]llars underneath them began to cr[D]ack

Now he's s[C]itting on her f[G]loor
She's playing a[Em]ll the minor cho[D]rds
Wishing s[C]o damn hard he'd k[G]iss her like befo[D]re
Sometimes e[C]very word has been us[G]ed,
And there’s n[Em]othing left to [D]do
But h[C]old the one you ca[G]n't have in the s[D]weet arms of a t[G]une.
Yeah [C]hold the one you ca[G]n't love in the sw[D]eet arms of a t[Em]une.[Am]   [Em]

Oo[Em]ooo[Am]ooo[Em]ooooh,    [Am]        o[Em]ooh

Cause sometimes ev[C]ery inch of you is [G]bruised,
And there’s n[Em]othing left to pr[D]ove
So just h[C]old the one you c[G]an't have in the s[D]weet arms of a t[G]une.
Yeah h[C]old the one you c[G]an't love in the s[D]weet arms of a t[G6]une.
