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
