          D         A             C/B     G
When your tears are spent on your last pretense
         D            A                 C/B             G
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense
          D       A                  C/B        G
When it's in your spine, like you've walked for miles
        D              A               C/B            G
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while

G D C/B D

            D           
And if your heart wears thin,
       A
I will hold you up
    C/B                     G
And I will hide you when it gets too much
        D       A
I'll be right beside you
        C/B     G
I'll be right beside you


When you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath
And the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless
When you try to speak, but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach, but they've never been so loud

And if your heart wears thin 
I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you

I will stay
Nobody will break you
Yeah

Trust in me, trust in me
Don't pull away
Just trust in me, trust in me
I'm just trying to keep this together,
'Cause I could do worse and you could do better

Tears are spent on your last pretense,
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense

And if your heart wears thin,
I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you

If your heart wears thin,
I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I will stay beside you
Nobody will break you
