Intro:
C   C


Verse:
 C
You're not asking for diamonds

You don't want furs
                    Am
You don't dream of silver and gold
            F                 G
All you're asking is to be cherished
                   C
To be held and to hold

 C
You don't need me to come round

Solving your problems
                    Am
You need more than blankets in the cold
                  F                       G
And all that you want is a chance to get closer
                   C
To be held and to hold


Chorus:
                  F
To be held and to hold
                G
Is all that you ask
            C          G           Am
And still sometimes I fail at the task
                   F                       G
When all that you want is a chance to get closer
                   C   C
To be held and to hold


Verse:
               C
I walk around blindly

I bumble along
       Am
In my heart I know that I'm wrong
              C
It's a cold consolation

I'm sorry again
                   Am
One more time the same story told
                 F                        G
And all that you want is a chance to get closer
                   C     C
To be held and to hold


Solo:
C  Am  F  G   C


Chorus:
                  F
To be held and to hold
                G
Is all that you ask
            C          G           Am
And still sometimes I fail at the task
                   F                       G
When all that you want is a chance to get closer
                   C
To be held and to hold

                  F                       G
When all that you want is a chance to get closer
                   C
To be held and to hold
