intro: C G Am G (x2)

C G    Am               F               C         G
hey if we can't find a way out of these problems
                    Am        F           C       G
then maybe we don't need this    standing face to face
Am         F               C     G                  Am     F
enemies at war we build defenses  and secret hiding places

   Chorus:
                         C          G    Am  F
     i might need you to hold me tonight
                         C            G     Am  F
     i might need you to say it's all right
                         C              G     Am  F
     i might need you to make the first stand
                Fmaj7               G
     because tonight i'm finding it hard to be your man

C         G     Am F  C        G         Am  F
hold me tonight       say it's all right

C G Am              F                 C       G
hey more than angry words i hate this silence
             Am F           C       G
it's getting so loud well i want to scream
    Am             F                C       G
but bitterness has silenced these emotions
             Am              F                   C         G
it's getting hard to breathe    so tell me isn't happiness
                  Am               F
worth more than a gold and diamond ring
                  C        G             Am          F
i'm willing to do anything   to calm the storm in my heart
                    C             G
i've never been the praying kind
                     Am           F
but lately i've been down upon my knees
                  C       G         Eb             G
not looking for a miracle    just a reason to believe

(chorus)

Bb                  Gm7
do you remember not long ago
                Eb                                   Eb F
when we used to live for the night-time cherish each moment
Bb                      Gm7                        Eb
now we don't live we exist we just run through our lives
     G                            C        G  Am  F
so alone that's why you've got to hold me

C G    Am              F                C        G
hey if we can't find a way out of these problems
                    Am        F          C       G
then maybe we don't need this   standing face to face
Am         F                C    G                    Am     F
enemies at war we build defences    and secret hiding places

(chorus until fade)
