Am                     C
Look in the mirror and tell me
              D    F G
Just what you see
Am                          C
What have the years of your life
              D
Taught you to be
F                  D
Innocence dyin` in so many ways
F                            Em
Things that you dream of are lost
            D      Am
Lost in the haze

CHORUS

     Em            D
Hold on, Baby Hold on
            C               D
`Cause it`s closer than you think
           Am              D
And you`re standing on the brink
     Em            D
Hold on, Baby Hold on
               C                D
`Cause there`s something on the way
     Am                 D       Em
Your tomorrow`s not the same as today

Am                        C     F G
Don`t you recall what you felt
                 D
When you weren`t alone
Am                        C
Someone who stood by your side
                D
A face you have known
F                          D
Where do you run when it`s too much to bear
F                     Em
Who do you turn to in need
              D       Am
When nobody`s there

Hold on, Baby Hold on
