G    D/F#   Am 
Hear my voice 
        Em        D        C 
I came out of the woods by choice 
G            D/F#      Am 
Shelter also gave us shade 
       Em      D     G 
In the dark I have no name 

G              D/F#         Am 
So leave that click in my head 
         Em           D            C 
I will remember the words that you said 
G                        D/F#   Am 
With a clouded mind and heavy heart 
       Em           D          C 
But I am sure we'll see a new start 

Em  D              G        C 
      So when your hopes on fire 
Em  D              G       C 
      But you know your desire 
            Em                D 
Don't hold a glass over the flame 
               G          C 
Don't let your heart grow cold 
      Em         D 
I will call you by name 
       G            C 
I will share your load 

( Em ) 

Em           Em 
Hold me fast, Hold me fast 
            C    Em    D   Em 
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer 
Em           Em 
Hold me fast, Hold me fast 
            C    Em    D   G 
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer 

(G - D/F# - Am - Em - D - C) 

G          D/F#          Am 
I wrestled long with my youth 
           Em        D       C 
I find it hard to live in the truth 
G                 D/F#    Am 
But do not tell me all is fine 
                Em       D       G 
When I lose my head, I lose my spine 

G            D/F#         Am 
So leave that click in my head 
           Em        D             C 
I will remember the words that you said 
G                  D/F#      Am 
You brought me out from the cold 
     Em               D          C 
Now How I long, how I long to grow old 

Em  D              G        C 
      So when your hopes on fire 
Em  D              G       C 
      But you know your desire 
            Em                D 
Don't hold a glass over the flame 
               G          C 
Don't let your heart grow cold 
      Em         D 
I will call you by name 
       G            C 
I will share your road
