Hold On Chords

[Verse 1]
 
         Am
I need a little bit of hope

One ray of light
     F/C         C
Need just enough peace

I want to leave all I know
   F/C    C
Forget my name
         F/C    C
I want a wisdom deep enough
   G                          Am     Am/G
To stand through the constant change

Send the homeless tempest-tossed to me
            Am
Where’s the line that we crossed

That broke the bond of trust

How did everything come to be them and us

Hold on to what matters

We are all unsure

There’s no waving of the wand no miracle cure

Not the worst of your fears

It’s just the price for the last five hundred years

It’s the price for the last five hundred years
