[Verse 1]
E                                     Asus2
Drive upstate for the changing of the leaves,
    E                                 Asus2
And I asked you which color would you be,
    E                                    Asus2/C#
You said blood red and asked me what I'd choose,
  E                                           Asus2/C#
I said dead brown because long ago I fell for you.


[Chorus]
A                      E          B
Hold me close like the darkness before the light,
A                     E          B
Holy ghosts haunt the hallways inside my mind,
A                     E              B       C#m   B        A
I can't cope thinking one day you'll say goodbye, I, I, I, I,


[Verse 2]
E                             Asus2
Sometimes I don't know who to be,
    E                                       Asus2
But you see more than what I lead them to believe,
     E                                    Asus2
Your dress, blood red, reminds me of that drivе,
          E                                  Asus2
Will your color change or will you always be mine?


[Chorus]
A                      E          B
Hold me close like the darkness before the light,
A                     E          B
Holy ghosts haunt the hallways inside my mind,
A                     E               B      C#m   B        A
I can't cope thinking one day you'll say goodbye, I, I, I, I,


[Bridge]
       A                         A
Like a tide pulls an anchor at a ship in the bay,
     E                         B
If I hold on too tightly, I'll push you away,
    C#m                       A
But I've never been this far under the weight,
   E                   Bsus4
Of something I can't escape.


[Chorus]
    A                      E          B
So, hold me close like the darkness before the light,
A                     E          B
Holy ghosts haunt the hallways inside my mind,
A                     E               B      C#m   B        A        A
I can't cope thinking one day you'll say goodbye, I, I, I, I, not tonight,
A                      E          B
Hold me close like the darkness before the light,
A                     E          B
Holy ghosts haunt the hallways inside my mind,
A                     E               B      C#m   B        A
I can't cope thinking one day you'll say goodbye, I, I, I, I,
               C#m  B     A
You'll say goodbye ye ye ye,
               C#m  B     A*
You'll say goodbye ye   ye,
N.C.            E
But not tonight. *
