[Verse 1]
C Cadd9 Am
I’m thinking tonight of my entire life as a whole
F C
Oh and what it might mean if I ever get back in control
C Cadd9 Am
Alone and forsaken by everyone I’ve ever known
F C
Hell I’ve even abandoned myself some years ago

[Chorus]
Am G C
And I’m hardly holding on
Am G C
In the dark before the dawn

[Verse 2]
C Cadd9 Am
Oh I’m living clean, oh I’m getting redeemed on this land
F C
But it ain’t what you think, it’s the toil of a much braver man
C Cadd9 Am
Lately I weep at the strangest things we understand
F C
Oh like every new line that’s defined on the back of my hand

[Chorus]
Am G C
And I’m hardly holding on
Am G C
In the dark before the dawn

[Verse 3]
C Cadd9 Am
Don’t call it religion when I seek salvation inside
F C
Oh it’s just surrendering on yourself to this life
C Cadd9 Am
And man, it gets lonely seeing the spite in their eyes
F C
Before they walk away being blinded by any old lie

[Chorus]
Am G C
And I’m hardly holding on
Am G C
In the dark before the dawn

[Outro]
C Cadd9 Am
I’m thinking the night of my entire life as a whole
F C
Oh and what it might mean if I ever get back in control
