Well it's hard to hear yourself think above the noise on our street
and it's hard to cool down when your body just generates heat
and it's hard to write songs when you feel like you can't even speak
but it ain't hard to tell you're the only thing i need
and [Bm]i been on [C7]the wrong [Am]end of too many a teleρhone call
tɾying to [C7]say too much and [Bm]just ending up saying nothing at all
til i'm pacing the floors and [Bm]bouncing my [A]head off the wall
but it ain't hard to [C7]tell this'll all [Em]be [Am]well in the fall
if you [A7can just
hold on
hold on
hold on [C7]with me
cuz i can only be
so stɾong
for [Dm7]so long
without you [A7holding on [C7]to [C7]me
and [Bm]i'm singing yesterday's songs wishing i could be [Am]with you [A7tonight
and [Bm]tomorrow my [A]surrogate friends will say hey man are you [A7alright?
it's like [F]everyone's eye's on [C7]the prize but they all [Em]lost their sight
oh it aint hard to [C7]tell this is hell and [Bm]it just ain't my [A]life
and [Bm]i'm tired of sleeping alone, tired of waking up here
and [Bm]i'm tired of ɾepressing these same unexplainable fears
and [Bm]i'm tired of believing i wasted my [A]formative years
but with a hand [Bm]on [C7]your side of the bed
i ɾemember the words that you [A7said
oh and [Bm]it aint hard to [C7]tell whose voice is in my [A]head
telling me
to [C7]hold on
hold on
and [Bm]you'll see
that we can be [Am]so stɾong
for [Dm7]so long [Am]
if you [A7just keep holding on
well we're not there yet
but we're going home
but we're not there yet
so hold on
