Tonality
Am F C G



Intro: Am F C x2

Verse:
        Am           F       C
If itʼs late and you hear me calling tonight
      Am          F                C
but I ainʼt right there and youʼre wondering why
Am           F          C
Iʼve made my way to the severed seas
          Am        F
where the sun burns hot
        C              Am F C
and the wind does sing

Am    F        C
Days away from where I left
        Am          F         C
thereʼs heaven sent eyes in a pickup bed
Am         F         C
Iʼm trying harder to get on back
        Am           F
but the tides moving in
          C                Am F C
and god’s pushing the raft

Am         F          C
A thousand miles have worn my feet
        Am     F          C
and the body I hold ainʼt gettin sleep
Am         F            C
your sweet touch moving closer to me
        Am           F
well it ainʼt what I got
         C          Am F C
but itʼs what I need

Chorus:
     F     Am
Hold on my dear
        G                         C
because Iʼm fighting like hell to face my fears
    F                 Am                    G
someday Iʼll tame the fires that brought me here
          F
And itʼll burn like hell
       Am                   G
but it might as well be the last time youʼre in tears
                 Am          F  C    Am  F  C
Iʼm betting on a better year

Verse:
Am     F        C
Iʼm so far into so many things Lord
  Am       F        C
I pray someday Iʼll earn my wings
Am        F        C
Iʼve seen hell and been through greed
         Am           F        C           Am F C
Thatʼs a part of me I hope you Do not meet

Am       F         C
Waste my breath on things I hate
        Am      F              C
like an ongoing trap that Iʼll never escape
Am             F          C
But I hope the words that I Do sing
        Am      F          C            Am F C
leave a mark on you like a wedding ring

Chorus:
     F     Am
Hold on my dear
        G                         C
because Iʼm fighting like hell to face my fears
    F                 Am                    G
someday Iʼll tame the fires that brought me here
          F
And itʼll burn like hell
       Am                   G
but it might as well be the last time youʼre in tears
                 Am          F  C
Iʼm betting on a better year
                 Am      F C
Iʼm betting on a better year

Outro:
    Am     F      C
You know I dug my grave
      Am      F                  C
I was buried alive with my dying faith
           F                 C
Your heart beats where I lay
    Am             F                   C   Am F C
and through you it seems Iʼve found my way
               F          C
My dear youʼll see one day
Am               F   C
all Iʼve done is for heavenʼs sake
