Verse 1:
C
I see you standing here
Am G C
But you’re so far away
C
Starving for your attention
Am G C
You don’t even know my name
Am G
You’re going through so much
Cmaj7 F
But I know that I could be the one to hold you
Chorus:
Cadd9
Every single day
Dm
I find it hard to say
Am G C
I could be yours alone
Cadd9
You will see someday
Dm
That all along the way
Am G C
I was yours to hold
C
I was yours to hold
Verse 2:
C
I see you walking by
Am G C
Your hair always hiding your face
C
I wonder why you’ve been hurting
Am G C
I wish I had some way to say
Am G
You’re going through so much
Cmaj7 F
Don’t you know that I will be the one to hold you
(Chorus x1)
Bridge:
Dm Am G
I’m stretching but you’re just out of reach
Dm
You should know
Am G
I’m ready when you’re ready for me
Cmaj7 F
And I’m waiting for the right time
G Barre F
For the day I catch your eye
Em F
To let you know
C F
That I’m yours to hold
(Chorus x2)
Hope you enjoyed it. Please let me know if you have any questions.
