Intro:
(E-F#)-G, D, C, D, c, D

Verse 1:
    G                    D
Sometimes I drive by our old blue house
       C                    D 
When I wake up calling your name
          G                       D
It's been years since you were my one true love
         C                         D
But that old house still looks the same 

Pre-chorus 1:
Em                   Bm
I dreamt you were an iceberg
    C                D
And I was the Arctic sea

Chorus 1:
    G      D       C        D         G  D C D
And I held you but you held back from me
     G      D       C        D         G  D C D
Yeah I held you but you held back from me 

Verse 2:
G                    D
When I drive by that cold blue house
    C                   D
The car out front looks strange
G                             D
In every room the lights turn on and off
          C                                D
But all I see is how this world will never change 

Pre-chorus 2:
Em                   Bm
I dreamt I was the Sahara
    C                   D
And you were the desert tree

Chorus 2:
    G                D
The sun beat down on both our backs
    C          D        G  D C D
And you turned yours on me
    G                D
The sun beat down on both our backs
    C          D        G  D C D
And you turned yours on me 

Solo:
G, G, D, D, C, C, D, D, 
G, G, D, D, C, C, D, D, 
Em, Em, Bm, Bm, C, C, D, D 
G, D, C, D, G, D, C, D

Verse 3:
    G                    D
Sometimes I drive by our old blue house
       C                    D
When I wake up calling your name
          G                       D
It's been years since you were my one true love
         C                         D
But that old house still looks the same 

Pre-chorus 3
Em                      Bm
I dreamt we were a ride at the fair
Em                       Bm
A wheel that spun on the ground
C                      G
And even though we got nowhere
         F                             D
We still reached for the stars and the clouds
         F                                D
We still reached for the stars... and the clouds 

Chorus 3:
    G      D       C        D             G      D       C        D  
And I held you but you held back from me (I held you but you held back from me)
     G      D       C        D             G      D       C        D
Yeah I held you but you held back from me (I held you but you held back from me)
     G      D       C        D         G, D, C, D
Yeah I held you but you held back from me

End on G
