VERSE 
D                              A                    Em    G 
I can see it won't be easy to keep your head above water. 

D                                         A                         Em   G 
Without a good friend by your side, I can tell you it'll only get harder. 

Chorus 
D              A            Em          G     F#   A 
Hold on child hold on, the good king is near. So near. 

D              A            Em             G 
Hold on child hold on, the good king is strong. 

 F#             A                  D 
in his eyes you ain't done nothing wrong. 

VERSE 

I know you feel alone, got no place to call your home 
and it feels all wrong. 
Your certainty in life melts quicker than the ice 
that you're standing on. 

Chorus 

Hold on child hold on, the good king is near. So near. 
Hold on child hold on, the good king is strong. 
in his eyes you ain't done nothing wrong. 

G 

BRIDGE  
D 
When I had no choice he gave me a voice, 

G 
now I'm singing. Yes I'm singing. 

D 
And it wasn't long before you gave me a song 

G                          D 
worth singing, yeah I'm singing. 

Chorus  

Hold on child hold on, the good king is near. 
Hold on child hold on, the good king is near. So near. 
Hold on child hold on, the good king is strong. 
in his eyes you ain't done nothing wrong. 

In his eyes you ain't done nothing wrong. 
Yeah you ain't done nothing wrong.
