every single day

[ Dm ]

[ Am ] [ G ] [ C ]
i could be yours alone

[ Am ] [ G ] [ C ]
i was yours to hold

i was yours to hold

i see you walking by

[ Am ] [ G ] [ C ]
your hair always hiding your face

i wonder why youve been hurting

youre going through so much

[ Cmaj7 ] [ F ]
dont you know that i will be the one to hold you
