Hand Over Hand

Tom: A

E
Oh
         B6/E
Little love
          A
Hold me down
           B
I've had enough

E
Oh
                          B6/E
Falling fast and screaming loud
                          A
I'm finding ways to drown it out
                          B
And hoping you can hold me down

       E
People change
                            B6/E
Start falling in and out of pairs
                              A
But for now it all just really hurts
                 B         E
And I need you to hold my hand

E
Little love
                           B6/E
I'm lost and might be never found
                  A        B
I'm hoping you can hold me down

E
Gone
                          B6/E
A fallen face among the crowd
                              A
I’m losing at the speed of sound
                             B
I'm hoping you can hold me down

E
All the same
                            B6/E
I’m a broken ship without a sail
                              A
And nothing really seems to work
                               B
So I need you to hold me like when


C#m7
We
                          F#m
Went walking through backyards
                           E
Asking what is in store for us
                B
Just looking around

           C#m7
Cause right there
                F#m
I was above it all
                   E
My back up against a wall
                 B
My lips on your brow


E
Oh
         B6/E
Little love
                                A
I’m searching for a plot of ground
                              B
I know that you can calm me down

E
Broken boy
                     B6/E
Yet to find a way around
                           A
A dark and ever-growing cloud
                             B
That has him always looking down

E
Her voice is like a morning sun
B6/E
Her touch is like a burning flare
                              A
The hope that hides inside the cloud
                             B
Returns to me when she is there
A                  E
I was climbing up out of a well
F#m
While we were


E                    B6/E
Getting lost in the pillows
A                              B
Feeling fine and then getting sicker
E 
There you were
           B6/E
But where was I
A                                 B
Just hold me close baby hold me high
E
Finding warmth
               B6/E
Beneath the covers
    A                                  B
When I had nothing we still had each other
E
We were alone
            B6/E
Outside of time
    A                               B
So hold me close while I start to climb


E 
My little love
B6/E
I wanna leave
A
Turn out the lights
B
And be at ease

E
I feel I live
B6/E
Along the brim
A
Of giving up
B
And giving in

E
So hear me now
B6/E
Without mistake
A                        B                 
In case I falter and I break

E
Without a doubt
B6/E
Let me be clear
A
You are the reason
B
I’m still here
