Ingrid Michaelson - Old Days

      [Intro]
Am  F  C  C
Am  F  C


[Verse 1]
Am            F         C
  We took the wrong way down
Am             F        C
  You see just one side now
Am                  F       C
  Guess that's what life's about
           G
What you remember
          F
What we remember


[Verse 2]
Am             F         C
  There's only one thing left
Am             F      C
  It's what we tell ourselves
Am           F         C
  The little lies they help
        G
Us to remember
         F
How we remember


[Chorus]
Am              F             C        G
Heaven help the ones who fly away
Am              F                C                  G
Heaven help the ones who have to stay and place the blame
Am             F                 C        G
Maybe what you think of me won't change
            C    F   Am   G
But I still hold on, hold on
C    F         Am  G    Am  F  C  C
Hold on to the old      days
    Am  F  C
The old days


[Verse 3]
Am            F           C
  Pack up the life that's left
Am            F        C
  Except that one blue dress
Am         F       C
  I always tried my best
         G
Do you remember?


[Verse 4]
Am             F       C
  I'll take it year by year
Am             F      C
  Watching the dust go clear
Am           F        C
  We're all afraid to fear
        G
Or to remember
     F
How we remember


[Chorus]
Am              F             C        G
Heaven help the ones who fly away
Am              F                C                  G
Heaven help the ones who have to stay and place the blame
Am             F                 C        G
Maybe what you think of me won't change
            C    F   Am   G
But I still hold on, hold on
C    F         Am  G    F    G
Hold on to the old      days

    C           C  G    F    G    C    D    F
I'm sorry, that I never knew


[Chorus] (softly)
Am              F             C        G
Heaven help the ones who fly away
Am              F                C                  G
Heaven help the ones who have to stay and place the blame
Am             F                 C        G
Maybe what you think of me won't change
            C    F   Am   G
But I still hold on, hold on
C    F     Am   G
Hold on, I hold on


[Outro]
C    F   Am   G
Hold on, hold on
C    F     Am   G
Hold on, I hold on
C    F   Am   G
Hold on, hold on
  C    F   Am   G
I hold on, hold on
C    F   Am   G
Hold on, hold on
C    F         Am  G
Hold on to the old      days
