Hold on. Hold on to yourself for this is gonna hurt like hell
A5        D5                    E5               D5
Hold on. Hold on to yourself. You know that only time can tell,

(Riff)


B5                     E5
what is it in me that refuses to believe,
           B5             D5
This isn't easier than the real thing.


A5            D5
My love, you know that you're my best friend,
    E5                         D5
you know that I'd do anything for you and
A5           D5
my love let nothing come between us,
   E5                      D5
my love for you is strong and true.  (Riff)


B5                    E5                B5             D5
Am I in heaven here or am I. . . at the crossroads I am standing
   F#5                  A*         D9*    E5
So now you're sleeping peaceful I lie awake and pray
F#5                      A*              D9*      E5
that you'll be strong tomorrow and will see another day
            B5    E5      B5                 D5
and we will praise it and love the light that brings a smile
A5       A5
across your face
