Verse:
Am
Leaves on the ground,
F
waiting but there’s no sound
Am
Years go by,
F
layers of love, lust, fire
Am F
Ice all around, everything lost and found (Take me, hold me, save me, keep me safe)
Am F
Blankets of dirt, collections of dreams and hurt (Memories buried lately in this place)
Chorus:
G (Hold out)
Nobody has to know

I’ll be the warmth when your heart’s growing cold
G Am
And you’re on your own
F C
I’ll be the compass that points you to north
G
I will be your keeper
Instrumental:

Verse:
Am F
Sand and stone, struggles to claim and own (Take my burden, I can’t bear the weight)
Am F
Wars lost won, promises come undone (I’ve been fighting, trying not to break)
Chorus:
G (Hold Out)
Nobody has to know
F C
I’ll be the warmth when your heart’s growing cold
G Am
And you’re on your own
F C
I’ll be the compass that points you to north
G Am
When you’re lost along the road
F C
I’ll be the voice of an old favorite song
G Am
Taking you back home
F C
I’ll be the guard at the top of the tower
G
I will be your keeper
