Hold Space

Ward Thomas


Tom: D

D
Your life's going down like a mudslide
                  D
And you're on the ground with your hands tied
        G
Feeling so done
         G
And it's all wrong
       D
You're locked into your indecision
                  D
You feel like you missed the audition
         G
For your own life
         G
And it's not right


[Pre-Chorus]
       A                                 D/F#
You're viewing from the valley and it's crowding your style
G                             A
Everybody's shouting out advice
        A                      D/F#
You've been down every alley in denial
    G
And all I can do is empathise so…


[Chorus]
 A              D/F#      G
I'm just gonna hold space
  G                   A
I know that I can't change it
   A                Em
Or go and make it okay, so
  D/F#               A
I'm just gonna hold space
  A              D/F#      G
I'm just gonna hold space
  G                   A
I know that I can't change it
   A               Em
Or go and make it okay, so
  D/F#               A
I'm just gonna hold space

I'm just gonna hold space


[Verse 2]
 D
I know lots of talk would be worthless
           D
The best kind of wisdom is wordless
       G
We can just be
       G
We can just breathe
    D
The dark plays its part as a witness
       D
To the stars as they burn in the stillness
      G
And I see you
         G
And it's still you


[Pre-Chorus]
    A                          D/F#
I'm not gonna argue with your fear and your pain
     G                             A
I'll listen to what you have gotta say
   A                              D/F#
I'm not gonna guard you from the fire and rain
    G
And all I can do is be a safe place


[Chorus]
 A              D/F#      G
I'm just gonna hold space
  G                   A
I know that I can't change it
   A                Em
Or go and make it okay, so
  D/F#               A
I'm just gonna hold space
  A              D/F#      G
I'm just gonna hold space
  G                   A
I know that I can't change it
   A               Em
Or go and make it okay, so
  D/F#               A
I'm just gonna hold space

I'm just gonna hold space


[Bridge]
Em              D/F#          A
I know I can't fit in your shoes, but I can walk beside you
Em                D/F#       A
I can't tell you when to let go, but I promise to hold space


[Chorus]
 A              D/F#      G
I'm just gonna hold space
  G                   A
I know that I can't change it
   A                Em
Or go and make it okay, so
  D/F#               A
I'm just gonna hold space
  A              D/F#      G
I'm just gonna hold space
  G                   A
I know that I can't change it
   A               Em
Or go and make it okay, so
  D/F#               A
I'm just gonna hold space
