to hang on
A          E
to hang on
   A
It isn't any wonder
         E
when the darkness pulls you under
         A
from the weight of all your wonderment
          E
the price you have to pay

set some deep roots down
G
and try to keep a grip on everything.

Sometimes in the silence of the night
F               Am     C             G   D
the voice might try to tell you it's not right
F                 Am       C            G    D
So you close your eyes and try with all your might
