Hold on, hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell
Hold on, hold on to yourself
You know that only time will tell
What is it in me that refuses to believe
This isn't easier than the real thing?
My love, you know that you're my best friend
You know I'd do anything for you
My love, let nothing come between us
My love for you is strong and true
Am I in heaven here or am I
At the crossroads I'm standing?
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow
And you'll see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across your face
keep playing E7sus4, Em7, Em/C, Em7 or play interesting
part of intro, or improvise?]
Oh god, if you're out there won't you hear me?
I know that we've never talked before
And oh god, the man I love is leaving
G6add11/
Won't you take him when he comes to your door?
Am I in heaven here or am I in hell
At the crossroads I am standing?
Hold on, hold on to yourself

For this is gonna hurt like...hell
