[Verse 1]
  C              G               F
Here we are outside a novel, Waiting for an end
 C                 Gm              F
We don't know the authors of the book
  Am               G                F
Maybe someone's writing chapters, For us while we sleep
         C       Gm    F
From a million miles away
 
[Chorus]
 Dm                           G
Stuck without a captain or a chart
Dm                                  F
No one seems to know just who to follow anymore
     Am       C
Hang on, Hang on
            F                           C
There's a twilight, A nighttime, and a dawn
     Am         C
Who knows, How long
        F        C       G
So hang on, Hang on
 
[Verse 2]
C             G               F
If we fell inside a forest, Would it make a sound?
C                     Gm       F
Doesn't seem there's anyone around
Am                  G            F
Days are long and carry on, We still don't understand
          C       Gm     F
We're a million miles away
 
[Chorus]
Dm                           G
Stuck without a captain or a chart
Dm                                 F
No one seems to know just who to follow anymore
     Am       C
Hang on, Hang on
             F                          C
There's a twilight, A nighttime, and a dawn
     Am          C
Who knows, How long
        F        C
So hang on, Hang on
 
[Solo]
C Am F C
 
     Am       C
Hang on, Hang On
             F
When all is shattered, When all your hope is
 
C
gone
     Am         C
Who knows, How long
             F                           C
There is a twilight, A nighttime, and a dawn
 
     Am       C
We break, We bend
      Am      C
With hand in hand
      Am      C
When hope is gone
          F        C
Just hang on, Hang on

One of my absolute favorite Guster songs especially just to sit and strum on an acoustic. One very small correction; there should be a Gm chord in lines 1,2 & 4 in both verses. You're correct that the 3rd line that begins with the Am chord has a G (major), but all of the lines in the verses that being with C should have a Gm. It took me a while to find a performance where I could watch Ryan's hands clearly to confirm because I has also transcribed a G (major) in my own version and it never sounded quite right. Here are the two performances where you can see Ryan's hands, https://youtu.be/U12x6sFmXnA and https://youtu.be/DxdVJUJC1KY
