i wish there was something i could say
    B5            A5       G5
to erase each and every page
            D5
you've been through
     A5
even though its not my place to save you

I appreciate but cant accept
     A5                   B5          A5          G5
this thank you note thats sealed with your last breath
           D5               A5
and i wont stand aside and listen to you give up

Chorus:
D5
if you'll just hold on for one more second
B5
just hold on to what you have
C5                                   G5
if you'll just hold on. just hold on.


D5
if you'll just hold on for one more second
B5
just hold on to what you have
C5                                   G5     A5     D5
if you'll just hold on. just hold on.

Verse:
D5
these arms remain stretched out to you
B5
maybe someday youll accept them
C5
or maybe its too late to save
G5
a young girls heart thats long stopped beating


D5
wake up wake up you gotta believe
B5
wake up wake up you cant give up
C5
time keeps going on without us
G5               A5
long after we're dead and gone
