[Strophe]
         D             G/D    D 
When the best of me is barely breathin' 
         D            G/D   D 
When I'm not somebody I   believe in 
     A/C#  Bm 
Hold on to me
[Strophe]
       D                  G/D       D 
When I miss the light the night has stolen 
         D                G/D          D 
When I'm slammin' all the doors You've opened 
     A/C#  Bm 
Hold on to me, yeah (Hey) 
G           D 
 Hold on to me
[Refrain]
          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 
           Em           A 
When I let go, hold me again
[Strophe]
       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/C#   Bm 
Hold on  to me
[Strophe]
       D                 G      D 
When I start to break in desperation 
     D                   G    D 
Underneath the weight of expectation 
     A/C#  Bm 
Hold on to me 
G            D 
   Hold onto me
[Refrain]
          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) 
           Em           A 
When I let go, hold me again
[Strophe]
        D                 G      D 
I could rest here in Your arms forever 
         D           G        D 
'Cause I know nobody loves me better 
     A/C#  Bm   G 
Hold on to me 
           D 
Hold on to me
