Hold Her

Am          G           Fmaj7
  She was holdin' on so tight
    Am                G         
But why do we still have to say 
Fmaj7
goodbye?
Am         G       Fmaj7
  She's all alone tonight
        Am            G         
There's nothin' I can do to make
Fmaj7
 it right


[Pre-Chorus]
      Am             C             
Is it ever gonna be, ever gonna be 
G     Fmaj7
brigh-ter?
      Am             C             
Is it ever gonna be, ever gonna be 
G  Fmaj7
ea-sier?


[Chorus]
F    G     Am
Hold her tonight
          C        F    G      Am
Oh, God, would you hold her tonight?
                C       F         
'Cause I'm not there to stay 
  G           Am      C
close, keep watch, tell her she's 
not alone
F    G     Am
Hold her tonight


[Verse 2]
Am          G           Fmaj7
 We're apart but not alone
Am                 G             
My love for her is more than she 
     Fmaj7
could know
Continues after the ad
Am          G                Fmaj7
  A secret place only we can go
           Am                 G   
And we'll laugh while we will hope
             Fmaj7
 until we're home


[Pre-Chorus]
      Am             C             
Is it ever gonna be, ever gonna be 
G     Fmaj7
brighter?
      Am             C             
Is it ever gonna be, ever gonna be 
G  Fmaj7
easier?


[Chorus]
F    G     Am
Hold her tonight
          C        F    G      Am
Oh, God, would you hold her tonight?
                C       F         
'Cause I'm not there to stay 
  G           Am      C
close, keep watch, tell her she's 
not alone
F    G     Am
Hold her tonight
