Hold On For Dear Life

G         Bm    C             G
Nothing's gonna happen if you don't jump


[Verse 1]
G
I think that my fear of heights
   G
Is really just a fear of sight
       C
'Cause when I close my eyes
Cm
Everything feels fine
G
Sometimes I feel like the kite and
G
Sometimes I feel like the hands
     C
That hold the strings too tight
Cm
Hold on for dear life


[Pre-Chorus]
Em       C
Leave it up to death
       G         D
'Cause who knows what comes next
    Em          C            D
And how could I ever rest my mind


[Chorus]
G         Bm    C             G
Nothing's gonna happen if you don't jump
A7
Once in a while
D7
High as a mile
G        Bm         C                Am
They say we're just born to push our luck
        C
Well I try

And I find
   Cm                                 G
It leaves me here to hold on for dear life


[Verse 2]
G
You think that your fear of ghosts
   G
Is really just a fear of getting
C
Close to afterlife
       Cm
Or the lack thereof
G
You sit in your haunted house
    G
And keeping all these feelings
       C
So far out of sight
       Cm
Try to pack them up


[Pre-Chorus]
Em       C
Leave it up to death
       G         D
'Cause who knows what comes next
    Em          C            D
And how could I ever rest my mind


[Chorus]
G         Bm    C             G
Nothing's gonna happen if you don't jump
A7
Once in a while
D7
High as a mile
G        Bm         C                Am
They say we're just born to push our luck
        C
Well I try

And I find
   Cm                                 Em
It leaves me here to hold on for dear life

G        Bm         C                Am

Well I try

And I find
   Cm                                 Cmmaj7*
