Verse:

B/D
I feel like a worker bee

F#/A
Sittin' all alone in here

Em
In this long deserted hive

(bass lick)

B/D
All relations gone to pieces

F#/A
I drove the people close to me

Em
Miles away outta my sight

B/D
And now I'm like a naked man

F#/A
Standing in the desert tryin'

Em                                 
Tryin' to sell a messiah for silver
A/G

Chorus:
               D7
Please hold me back

                G
And don't let me go

          D7
When I go crazy

              A/G
Don't let me go

(walk the bass down F# -> E)

          Em            F#/A       
All of my bridges are crumbling to 
G
dust

                     Em          
And you might be the only one 
F#/A    G
that I can trust

   A/G           B/D
So please hold on

(play B/D -> F#/A -> Em verse for A 
bit)

Em
(Hold onto me now)

(Repeat verse over these)

You were not the first I've seen
Gettin' eaten from within
Being what you do

It's easy enough to lose a step or 
two
Dodging bullets while building a 
truce
Don't beat yourself up about it

What you lost you can't get back
A little perspective right here in 
this track
I've seen children get sold for 
silver

(Repeat Chorus over these)

I could hold you back
But I won't treat you so
I don't think you're crazy
And I won't let you go

I'll be the someone you can hold 
onto
But I won't be somebody holding onto
 you
Weighing you down

(No, no, no, no, no)

(Switch to tremolo style strumming 
here)

Bm
Don't have the courage to

A
Take another step let alone two

G2
I'll fall into the big black sea

Bm
Sure you can if I can soak in you

A
Lean on me I will be there

G2                           A/G
And it's blue can't you see

(Repeat Chorus)
I won't let you go
And I won't hold you back
I'll walk the whole mile with you
Watching your back

Never ever let you go
And never hold you back
I'll be forever someone you can 
trust
