G C
Is there room for one more son
G F#m
One more son
Em
If you can hold on
C G
If you can hold on, hold on
e|-----------------|

[Verse]
G
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
G
You know, you know, no you don't, you don't
C G
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
G
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
G
Another head aches, another heart breaks
G
I'm so much older than I can take
C G
And my affection, well it comes and goes
G
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
[Chorus]
G
Help me out
G
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
C
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner
G
You know you got to help me out, yeah
[Verse:]
G
And when there's nowhere else to run
G
Is there room for one more son
C
These changes ain't changing me
G
The cold-hearted boy I used to be
[Chorus]
G
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
G C
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner
C G
You know you got to help me out
Em
You're gonna bring yourself down
C
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
G
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
[Break-down]
G (for 2 bars, but only play the lowest notes)
G
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
G
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
C
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
G
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
G (power type chord, slide down a little but after each strum:listen to song)
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
G
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
C (same as the G)
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
G
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
Em ( go all out)
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
C G
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier (Time, truth and hearts)
[Chorus]
G
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
C
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner
G
You know you got to help me out
G
You're gonna bring yourself down
G
You're gonna bring yourself down
C
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner
G
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Em
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
[Outro]
C Am
Over and in, last call for sin
Am C (let ring)
When everyone's lost the battle is won
G (riff again)
With all these things that I've done
Em
All these things that I've done (Time, truth and hearts)
Am
If you can hold on
C
If you can hold on
G to the end
Hold on
