Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

When your tears are spent on your last pretense

And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense

When it's in your spine like you've walked for miles

And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while

(Oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ooh, oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ooh)

 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

(Play Intro/Verse again)

When you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath

When 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

 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

Trust in me, trust in me

 Don't pull away

Trust in me, trust in me

 I'm just trying to keep this together

'Cause I could do worse and you could do better

(Intro/Verse)

Tears are spent on your last pretense

And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense

 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'll be right beside you

 Nobody will break you
