C/E                        Cm/E 
Every now and then I get a little bit carried away 
Fmaj9                       C/E               G 
Even at my best I feel so far away 
C/E                        Cm/E 
Like an anchor on a ship, you keep me close to land 
Fmaj9                      C/E                G 
Hold tight baby, hold me with both hands 


C/E                         Cm/E 
I’m a wave without an ocean, a risk without a chance to take 
Fmaj9                       C/E                              G 
A thought without a notion, a love without a heart to break 
C/E                          Cm/E 
With all this weight upon me I don’t think that I can stand 
Fmaj9            C/E 
Hold me baby, hold me with both hands 


E7 
Wishes come easy, but hope stays far behind 
Am7 
If only it was easy, if all it would take was time 


C/E                       Cm/E 
People don’t see a thing, when they think I’ve got it all 
Fmaj9                                 C/E                        G 
They think I’ve never hit the bottom, they’ve never seen me fall 
C/E                           Cm/E 
But you’re the one who knows, you’re the one who understands 
Fmaj9                  C/E                         G 
When you hold me baby, hold me with both hands 
Fmaj9                  C/E                         G 
When you hold me baby, hold me with both hands
