Help Me Hold On

[Intro]
| F# | B/F# | F# | B/F# |

[Verse 1]
F#
Baby,
                                   B/F#
close that suitcase you've been packin'
F#                                  B/F# B/A#
Just sit down and talk to me a while
  G#m7                                  B
I know you tried to tell me what was lackin'
           G#m7                               C# C#sus4
But I guess    I must have missed it by a mile
      F#
Well, this time, girl,
                       B/F#
I swear to you I'll listen
F#                                   B/F# B/A#
Help me understand where I went wrong
     G#m7                            B   B/A#
It's hard to find myself in this position
G#m7                                      C#
Scared that I'll go crazy once you're gone

[Chorus]
               F#              B/F#
Help me hold on  to what we had
              B/A#
Once our love was strong,
G#m7   C#          F#        F#sus4
    it can be again  You said
            F#                 B/F#                  B/A#
it takes two  to make love last    You were right all
      G#m7   C#             F#
along,    so help me hold on
B/F#       F# B/F#
    Hold on

[Verse 2]
F#                                  B/F#
What have I got to do to make it better?
F#                               B/F#    B/A#
What have I got to do to make you    see?
     G#m7                           B
That even though I promised you forever
  G#m7                             C# C#sus4
I never knew how hard that would be
       F#                               B/F#
Well I realize I took your love for granted
                F#                                 B/F#    B/A#
But I've learned  that love worth havin' don't come    free
    G#m7                               B
And I'll pay any price it takes to keep you
B/A# G#m7                              C# C#sus2 C#sus4
Oh,  satisfied and stayin' here with me

[Chorus]
C#             F#              B/F#
Help me hold on  to what we had
              B/A#
Once our love was strong,
G#m7            C#          F#        F#sus4
    you know it can be again  You said
            F#                 B/F#                  B/A#
it takes two  to make love last    You were right all
      G#m7   C#             F# F#sus4
along,    so help me hold on

[Outro]
F#                            G#m7
  Oh, you were right all along
C#                       B B/A# G#m7 F#
  Oh, you help me hold on
