  			          D         A             C/B     G 
When your tears are spent on your last pretense 
         D            A                 C/B             G 
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense 
          D       A                  C/B        G 
When it's in your spine, like you've walked for miles 
        D              A               C/B            G 
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while 

(  G D C/B D  ) 

            D 
And if your heart wears thin, 
       A 
I will hold you up 
    C/B                     G 
And I will hide you when it gets too much 
        D       A 
I'll be right beside you 
        C/B     G 
I'll be right beside you 

            D    A                  C/B       G 
When you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath 
         D                 A                  C/B           G 
And the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless 
         D       A             C/B      G 
When you try to speak, but you make no sound 
         D                  A                         C/B           G 
And the words you want are out of reach, but they've never been so loud 

(  G D C/B D  ) 

            D 
And if your heart wears thin, 
       A 
I will hold you up 
    C/B                     G 
And I will hide you when it gets too much 
        D       A 
I'll be right beside you 
        C/B     G 
I'll be right beside you 

D 
I will stay 
   A        C/B    G 
Nobody will break you 
D 
Yeah 

D 
Trust in me, trust in me 
            A 
Don't pull away 
       D            D 
Just trust in me, trust in me 
A                   Bm 
I'm just trying to keep this together, 
       A           Bm       A             G 
'Cause I could do worse and you could do better 

D         A             C/B     G 
Tears are spent on your last pretense 
         D            A                 C/B             G 
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense 

            D 
And if your heart wears thin, 
       A 
I will hold you up 
    C/B                     G 
And I will hide you when it gets too much 
        D       A 
I'll be right beside you 
        C/B     G 
I'll be right beside you 

          D 
If your heart wears thin, 
        A 
I will hold you up 
    C/B                     G 
And I will hide you when it gets too much 
        D       A 
I'll be right beside you 
             C/B 
Nobody will break you
