G C Am Dm Em F
[Verse]
C
Hold on to these words,
G
I'd like to think that they may offer
Am Dm
Some protection,
G C G
Against the night.
C
Against the night,
G
Your life can feel transparent,
Am Dm
A reflection,
G C G
A trick of light.
[Chorus]
F C
So when sleep just won't come,
Em Am
And you've got no occupation,
Dm
But nibbling at the fruit
G
Of the melancholy tree,
C G
Just hold on to these words,
G C G C
Hold on to me.
[Verse]
C
Just hold on to these words,
G
They're the best I've got to offer
Am
At the moment,
Dm G C G
As a lullaby.
G C
As a lullaby,
G
You can lay down by the tracks
Am
And feel the world
Dm
Slip by.
G C G
[chorus]
F C
So when sleep just won't come,
Em Am
And you've got no occupation,
Dm
But nibbling at the fruit
F Dm G
Of the melancholy tree,
C
Just hold on to these words,
G C G C
Hold on to me.
