Lifeline

[Intro]
| Bm7 | D5/A | G | - |

[Verse 1]
Bm7
   Doc said I got twelve hours
D5/A
    I called you without a second thought
G
 Plane ride within the hour
As she pictures life without her son
Bm7 D5/A G
Oh, oh, I know

[Verse 2]
Bm7
   One hour visitation
D5/A
    She beats me in chess, another round
G
 Don't matter what we're sayin'
I'm just glad you made it into town
Bm7 D5/A    G
Oh, oh, mmm, mmmhmm

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7              D5/A
Save me, now I'm facing
            G
All my fears of the unknown
I've been shakin' in my bones
Bm7                   D5/A
Lately, I've been prayin'
        G
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own

[Chorus]
   G          D/F#
So try not to cry 
                Em7
I won't say goodbye just yet
   A7
So hold on to my hand
            G          D/F#
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
               Em7
With you by my side, oh my
A7                           G
Don't you know you're my lifeline

[Verse 3]
Bm7
   I know I'm not good at callin'
D5/A
    Dad said I've fallen off the grid
G
 We hardly say "I love you"
'Cause your parent's parents never did
Bm7 D5/A G
Oh, oh  

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7              D5/A
Save me, now I'm facing
            G
All my fears of the unknown
I've been shakin' in my bones
Bm7                   D5/A
Lately, I've been prayin'
        G
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own

[Chorus]
G          D/F#
Try not to cry 
                Em7
I won't say goodbye just yet
   A7
So hold on to my hand
            G          D/F#
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
               Em7
With you by my side, oh my
A7                           D             D/C#
Don't you know you're my lifeline So let go

[Bridge]
              Bm7       D5/A
'cause I won't   waste another minute
D
 This distance,
D/C#              Bm7                D5/A
    we're driftin'   from difference of  opinion
D       D/C#      Bm7        D5/A
 I can't    be mad   I'm not what you planned for
D          D/C#               Bm7       D5/A
 I hope you    would know that   no one else could ever

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7                    D5/A
Save me, I've been praying
     G
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own

[Chorus]
G          D/F#
Try not to cry 
                Em7
I won't say goodbye just yet
   A7
So hold on to my hand
            G          D/F#
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
                    Em7
With you by my side,   oh
A7                           G
Don't you know you're my lifeline

[Outro]
         D/F#       Em7
Ooh, ooh,    my lifeline
A7
Don't you know you're my lifeline
