CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO:
D G  G D  D G

VERSE:
      D           G
Well it`s hard to hear yourself think
 G     D        G D
Above the noise on our street
     D
And it’s hard to cool down
      Em         A Asus4 A
When your body just generates heat

     D
And it`s hard to write songs
     G             D  D Bm
When you feel like you can`t even speak
Em7          Em       G       A Asus4 A
But it ain’t hard to tell you`re the only thing I need


VERSE:
       D            G        D  D
And I`ve been on the wrong end of too many a telephone call
 D                   Em7         A Asus4 A
Tryin` to say too much and just endin` up saying nothing at all
     D             G            D  D Bm
‘Til I`m pacin` the floors and I`m bouncin’ my head off the wall
    Em             G         A Asus4 A
And it ain’t hard to tell this`ll all be well in the fall


CHORUS:
A        G     D D F#m   Bm A G G D   D    A Asus4 A
If you can just  hold on,    hold on,     hold on with me
  A        G     D D F#m  F#m Bm  A    G G    D   A Asus4 A A
‘Cause I can only be so strong    for so long without you holding on to me


VERSE:
N.C.       D            G            D  D D
And I’m singin` yesterday`s songs wishin` I could be with you tonight
 D             Em7                 A  Asus4 A
And tomorrow my surrogate friends will say “hey man are you all right”
A       D             G               D  D Bm
Oh, it’s like everybody`s eye`s on the prize but they all lost their sight
    Em             G             A Asus4 A
Oh, it ain`t hard to tell this is hell and it just ain`t my life
 A    D          G              D  G D
And I`m tired of sleepin` alone, and tired of wakin` up here
     D             Em7    Em    A Asus4 A
And I`m tired of suppressin` these same unexplainable fears
     D          G          D  A Bm
And I`m tired of believin` I wasted my formative years
Bm     D            G
But with a hand on your side of the bed
  D              Bm
I remember the words that you said
      Em7           G       A Asus4 A
Oh, and it ain`t hard to tell whose voice is in my head


CHORUS:
        G      D D F#m F#m Bm  G D        A Asus4 A
Just tellin` me to hold on,    hooold on,  and you`ll see
 A       G  D  F#m7  F#m Bm     G      D  A Asus4 A G
That we can be so strong   for so long if you just keep a hoooooolding oooon

OUTRO:
      Em7 Em  A Asus4 A         D    D  G
Well we`re not there yet    but we`re goin` hoooooooo-oo-ome
D      Em Em7 Em  A Asus4 A    D D D D E D  D D D D E D
 But we`re not  there yet    so hold on
