VERSE:
D G
Well it's hard to hear yourself think
D G D
Above the noise on our street
D
And it’s hard to cool down
Em A Asus4 A
When your body just generates heat
D
And it's hard to write songs
G D A Bm
When you feel like you can't even speak
Em G A Asus4 A
But it ain’t hard to tell you're the only thing I need
VERSE:
D G D G D
And I've been on the wrong end of too many a telephone call
D Em7 A Asus4 A
Tryin' to say too much and just endin' up saying nothing at all
D G D A Bm
‘Til I'm pacin' the floors and I'm bouncin’ my head off the wall
Em G A Asus4 A
And it ain’t hard to tell this'll all be well in the fall
CHORUS:
A G D D F#m Bm A G G D D A Asus4 A
If you can just hold on, hold on, hold on with me
A G D D F#m F#m Bm A G G D A Asus4 A A
‘Cause I can only be so strong for so long without you holding on to me
VERSE:
N.C. D G D G D
And I’m singin' yesterday's songs wishin' I could be with you tonight
D Em7 A Asus4 A
And tomorrow my surrogate friends will say “hey man are you all right”
A D G D A Bm
Oh, it’s like everybody's eye's on the prize but they all lost their sight
Em G A Asus4 A
Oh, it ain't hard to tell this is hell and it just ain't my life
A D G D G D
And I'm tired of sleepin' alone, and tired of wakin' up here
D Em7 Em A Asus4 A
And I'm tired of suppressin' these same unexplainable fears
D G D A Bm
And I'm tired of believin' I wasted my formative years
Bm D G
But with a hand on your side of the bed
D Bm
I remember the words that you said
Em7 G A Asus4 A
Oh, and it ain't hard to tell whose voice is in my head
CHORUS:
G D D F#m F#m Bm G D A Asus4 A
Just tellin' me to hold on, hooold on, and you'll see
A G D F#m7 F#m Bm G D A Asus4 A G
That we can be so strong for so long if you just keep a hoooooolding oooon

OUTRO:

But we're not there yet so hold on
