[Verse]
Am D G
Here I stand without an answer
Am D G
Reaching out to feel your hand
Em G C C
And I try to find the courage that can keep me hanginʼ on
Am D G
You help me be a better me
Am D G
So many left without a goodbye
Am D G
A thousand miles in between
G Em G C
I could not have made the change without your push in the right direction
Am D G G C
Lift me up, help me escape
[Chorus]
Am D G C
All the years of hell that seem to fall right by the wayside
Am D G C
And All the times Iʼve needed someone to believe in me
Am D G C
To think about the odds that youʼd be sharing in this love
N.C.
I hope you hang around awhile
[Interlude]

[Verse]
Am D G
Here you stand with your defenses
Am D G
Build them up and build them strong
Em G C
Itʼs alright to let them soften as I hold you close at night
Am D G
No need to hide a thing from me
[Chorus]
Am D G C
All the years of hell that seem to fall right by the wayside
Am D G C
And All the times Iʼve needed someone to believe in me
Am D G C
To think about the odds that youʼd be sharing in this love
N.C.
I hope you hang around awhile
Am D G C
Hang around so you can see me take my second chances
Am D G C
Hang around so you can help me wish on one more star
Am D G C
Hang around so we can take this love and make it shine
N.C.
I hope youʼll hang around a while
[Outro]
Am G D
