G D
Hold my hand, everything will be okay.

I heard from the heavens that clouds have been grey.

Pull me close, wrap me in your aching arms.

I see that you’re hurtin’, why’d you take so long.

[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
To tell me you need me. I see that you’re bleedin.
G D
You don’t need to show me again.
Em C
But if you decide to, I’ll ride in this life with you.
G D
I won’t let go ‘til the end.

[Chorus]
G D
So cry tonight,
Em Em7 C
But don’t you let go of my hand.

You can cry every last tear.

I won’t leave ‘til I understand.
C
Promise me, just hold my hand.

[Verse 2]
G D
Raise your head, look into my wishful eyes.

That fear that’s inside you will lift, give it time.

Your prayers will be answered, let God whisper how.

To tell me you need me. I see that you’re bleedin.
