[Verse 1]
          D            G         D
When the best of me is barely breathin'
         D            G         D
When I'm not somebody I believe in
     A     Bm
Hold on to me
 
[Verse 2]
       D                  G           D
When I miss the light the night has stolen
         D                G              D
When I'm slammin' all the doors You've opened
     Bm                 G
Hold onto me, yeah (Hey)
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          D
Hold onto me
 
[Chorus]
          G                        D
Hold onto me when it's too dark to see You
          G                       D
When I am sure I have reached the end
          G                A      Bm
Hold onto me when I forget I need You
           G             A
When I let go, hold me again
 
[Verse 3]
       D                   G       D
When I don't feel like I'm worth defending
         D            G      D
When I'm tired of all my pretending
     A    Bm
Hold on to me
 
[Verse 4]
       D                 G      D
When I start to break in desperation
     D                   G    D
Underneath the weight of expectation
     A     Bm
Hold on to me
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G            D
   Hold onto me
 
[Chorus]
          G                        D
Hold onto me when it's too dark to see You (I'll hold on)
          G                       D
When I am sure I have reached the end
          G                A      Bm
Hold onto me when I forget I need You (I'll hold on)
           G            A
When I let go, hold me again
 
[Verse 5]
        D                 G      D
I could rest here in Your arms forever
         D           G        D
'Cause I know nobody loves me better
     A     Bm
Hold on to me
 
[Outro]
G           D
  Hold onto me
