F                    Am
I'm fighting to hard to win
Bb                 F
Back on the ground again
F                Am
I feel like giving in
Bb               F
But you're my second wind

[Pre-chorus]
         F
Don't you ever tire
      Dm
Facing all my fires
         Bb                        C
I don't need no one but you right now

So, I say

[Chorus]
 F       Am              Bb                F
Oh, my friend, you're holding out your hand
  Bb              F             Bb
I take it like an oar from the depth
F        Am           Bb             F
Hey, Lifesaver, I'm drowning in despair
           Bb                F      C         Bb
But you're fighting for me right until the end
Bb
You pull me back to land and save me once again

[Instrumental]
F   Am   Bb   F   Bb   F   C   F

[Verse 2]
F            Am
You help me wash away
Bb                 F
The insane mistakes I made
F                Am
And I see it in your face
Bb               F
My only source of grace

[Pre-chorus]
        F
No, I don't take for granted
        Dm
All the time you've wasted
Bb                     C
Making sacrifices for a fool

So, I say

[Chorus]
F       Am              Bb                F
Oh, my friend, you're holding out your hand
  Bb              F             Bb
I take it like an oar from the depth
F        Am           Bb             F
Hey, Lifesaver, I'm drowning in despair
           Bb                F      C         Bb
But you're fighting for me right until the end.
Bb
You pull me back to land and save me once again

[Bridge]
F          Am        Bb       F
You lift me higher, You hold the fire,
Bb            F    C          Bb
You make me strong enough to stay
F           Am       Bb         F
You lift me higher, You hold the fire,
F             G            Bb           C
Made up stand tall, But without you I'd fall

[Chorus]
F       Am              Bb                F
Oh, my friend, you're holding out your hand
  Bb              F             Bb
I take it like an oar from the depth
F        Am           Bb             F
Hey, Lifesaver, I'm drowning in despair
           Bb                F      C         Bb
But you're fighting for me right until the end.
Bb
You pull me back to land and save me once again

[Outro]
F       Am              Bb         F
Oh ohohoh oh ohohohoh
Bb              F       C      F
Ohoh ohoh oh oh ohoh ohoh
