What I Wanted To Hold Cifras

What I Wanted to Hold
Florist
 
Tabbed by Rohan P.
 
I transposed the chords from the other tab to this voicing, which I think is more similar to the way Emily
plays the song. My gratitude to "hannah.t", the author of the other tab, for getting me started.

[Intro] x4
D A G
 
[Verse 1]
D         A*           G*
   Yellow light on the wall
       D        A*     G*
I can close my eyes and return
       D      A*            G*
To the home I remember in a blur
              D
Of sights and smells
    A*         G*
And sounds of old
 
[Chorus 1]
         F#m          G*       D
But it's not what I wanted to hold
       F#m                        G*              D
When I learned that I would have something of my own
 
[Verse 2]
D          A*          G*
   What is love if not Violet
  D        A*          G*
A beam of light on an Autumn afternoon
     D      A*       G*
That slowly fades to Blue
       D      A*     G*
I have always wanted you
 
[Chorus 2]
         F#m                         G*          D
When the summer goes long, when the water stays warm
     F#*                  G*           D
I remember the faces of everyone I've loved
        F#m             G*
And the places I have lived
        F#m             G*
And the places I have visited
 
[Verse 3]
D          A*            G*
   You're alive and I'm alive
D           A*            G*
   You're a dream that I had when I was young
D      A*             G*
   I'm alive and I'm okay
    D       A*    G*
The air is light blue today
    D       A*    G*
The air is light blue today
    D       A*    G*
The air is light blue today
    D       A*    G*
The air is light blue today
    D       A*    G*
The air is light blue today
 
[Chorus 3]
F#m                     G*           D
   I want a place where I can stay warm
       F#m      G*           D
Deep inside my body of this earth
       F#m
And a mouth that says soft things
         G*             D
Or just breathes in my ear
       F#m
And a heart I can speak back to
    G*              D
For no one else to hear
