Verse 1
[A]
I just wanna live inside sometimes
[C#m]
Don't wanna have to beg you to subscribe
[F#m]
Are you a man before your father dies?
[D] [Dm]
"But what's a man these days?" I hear you cry
[A]
And are we raising up our children right?
[C#m]
Is my career gonna reignite?
[F#m]
See all the virtue signalers tonight
[D] [Dm]
I want that bandwagon to pass me by
Pre-Chorus 1
[A]
Well, I've been scratching around in the dirt
[C#m]
Looking for meaning in the cold, cold earth
F#m F#msus4
To gather in what's left of your self-worth
[F#m] [D] [Dm] [A]
Cause only love is what survives of us
Chorus
[Bm] [A]
Cause I hold onto you
[F#m] [D]
And you hold onto me
[A] [E] [D]
A tiny victory in the age of anxiety
Verse 2
[A]
Do those kids know that I was somebody?
[C#m]
And I've kept all my texts from Amy
F#m F#msus4
My mother was one of those bodies
[D] [Dm]
Another stranger off the ferry
Pre-Chorus 2
[A]
Don't wanna put my hands up in the air
[C#m]
And raise my phone up like I just don't care
F#m F#msus4
Let outrage blow me down the White House stairs
[D] [Dm]
Oh, did I waste my time on all that prayer?
Pre-Chorus 3
[A] [Asus4]
No, I won't be your apparatchik
[A] [C#m]
And be the kind who's blind to all its magic
F#m F#msus4
So here comes your European exit
[D] [Dm] [A]
With asylum seekers in your attic
Chorus
[Bm] [A]
So I hold onto you
[F#m] [D]
And you hold onto me
[A] [E] [D]
A tiny victory in the age of anxiety
Bridge
[A]
Today I do not feel like - being strong
[C#m]
And don't wanna admit to the world I'm wrong
F#m F#msus4
Don't make me feel that I have to belong
[D] [Dm] [A]
I hope the band won't make me sing along
Chorus
[Bm] [A]
Cause I hold onto you
[F#m] [D]
And you hold onto me
[A] [E] [D] [Dsus2/B]
A tiny victory in the age of anxiety
[A] [E] [D]
A shining victory in the age of anxiety
Outro
[A] [Asus4]
I hope the band won't make me sing along
[A] [Asus4]
I hope the band won't make me sing along
[A] [Asus4]
Oh... Oh
[A] [Asus4]
Oh... Oh (The age of anxiety)
[A] [Asus4]
Oh (I hope the band)...(I hope the band) Oh (I hope the band)
[A] [Asus4]
Oh (I hope the band)...Oh (I hope the band won't make me)
[A] [D]
Whoa whoa (I hope the band won't make me)
[A] [D]
Whoa whoa (I hope the band won't make me)
[A] [D]
Whoa whoa (I hope the band won't make me)
[A] [D]
Whoa whoa (Love survives of us)
[A] [D]
Whoa whoa (Love survives of us)
[A] [D]
Whoa whoa (Love survives of us)
[A] [D]
Whoa whoa (Love survives of us)
