VERSE  1
            G5
Why are you striving, these days?

Why are you trying, to earn grace?
            D5                           Cadd9
Why are you crying?  Let me lift up your face
                 G5
Just don't turn away

Why are you looking, for love?

Why are you still searching, as if I'm not enough?
                  D5                               Cadd9
To where will you go child, tell me where will you run?

To where will you run?

              Em               Cadd9
Cause I'll be by your side wherever you fall
       G5                D5
In the dead of night whenever you call
    Em                       Cadd9                  G5
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you

My hands are holding you

Instrumental G5

VERSE 3
              G5
Look at these hands, at my side
                   Em
They swallowed the grave, on that night
                 D5                                Cadd9
When I drank the world's sin, so I could carry you in
             G5                     D5
And give you life, I wanna give you life

CHORUS 2
            Em               Cadd9
And I'll be by your side wherever you fall
       G5                D5
In the dead of night whenever you call
    Em                       Cadd9                  G5
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
D5                                   
My hands are holding
     Em              Cadd9
Here in my side, wherever you fall
       G5                 D5
In the dead of night, whenever you call
    Em                        Cadd9                  G5
And please don't fight, these hands that are holding you
D5                   G5
My hands are holding you
