What It Is

   G                               D
My heart was way too empty and the damage done too deep
   F                 C               G
To stay here for the breaking of the day
   G                          D
My compass is in pieces and I don't know what I see
F               C         G
I'm not sure it matters anyway

               D              G
'Cause what it was is gone forever
        D                  C
What it could be, God only knows
            G      G/B          C
And what it is is right here in front of me
    G       D       G
And I'm not letting go

G                           D
Just across the border from what I used to be
F                C               G
I still hear the slamming of the door
        G                         D
And the future holds a promise it doesn't have to keep
    F                 C         G
But it might not need keeping anymore

               D              G
'Cause what it was is gone forever
        D                  C
What it could be, God only knows
            G     G/B            C
And what it is is right here in front of me
    G       D       G
And I'm not letting go

G                            D
I can hear the laughter as I make another plan
F              C                G
Set out like a fool towards the sea
G                           D
Every wave that crashes rearranges all the sand
    F            C                G
And puts another path in front of me

               D              G
'Cause what it was is gone forever
        D                  C
What it could be, God only knows
            G     G/B            C
And what it is is right here in front of me
    G       D       G
And I'm not letting go
        G     G/B           C
What it is is right here in front of me
    G       D       F  C  G
And I'm not letting go
