[Verse]
     Am                 F
Oh my love, we've gotta save ourselves
                        Am
If we wanna save the world

Don't give in to your hate when you
F
Know you can change.
                                  Am
It's hitting home and it feels so strange.
        G
I wanna say those words but it's not that easy.
  Em                               C
I smile but it doesn't make things right.
         F
And it's hard when it's hurting all the time.
                                G
But I can't leave this thing behind.

[Chorus]
                C
You've gotta trust me and hold on.
                 Am   G
We've gotta slow down baby.
                    F                        C
'Cause we are still young but we are getting older.
                     F                          C
Our hearts are still warm, but they are getting colder.
         Am                  F       C
And this life is getting the best of me.
        Em         Am
And I'm down on my knees.
   F                 Am
Oh please, baby hold on.

[Verse]
          Am       F
Keep your head, up high.
                                          Am
Reach for me, I can't pretend when it's a lie.
                      F
Talk to me, when your low.
                                        Am
Confide in me, I promise I won't tell a soul.
           G
And we can turn this corner, no it's not that easy.
          Em                     C
But we're fools not to give it a try.
         F
And it's hard when it's hurting all the time.
                             G
But I can't leave this thing behind.

[Chorus]
                          C
You've gotta trust me and hold on.
                 Am   G
We've gotta slow down baby.
                    F                        C
'Cause we are still young but we are getting older.
                     F                          C
Our hearts are still warm, but they are getting colder.
         Am                  F       C
And this life is getting the best of me.
        Em         Am
And I'm down on my knees.
   F       G         Bb
Oh please, baby hold on.

[Bridge]
       C
When I see the stars above me.
              Am
Shining their lights down on my face.
  F                                 G
I feel you, and now I know what I'm missing.

[Chorus]
C
Hold on, we've gotta slow down baby.
                    F                        C
'Cause we are still young but we are getting older.
                     F                          C
Our hearts are still warm, but they are getting colder.
         Am                  F       C
And this life is getting the best of me.
         Em                Am
And it's got me down on my knees
     F                 C
Hey! please, baby hold on.
