F               C       A 
I'm fighting to hard to win 

F           C        A 
Back on the ground again 

F           C      A 
I feel like giving in 

F             C      A 
But you're my second wind 






          F    C 
Don't you ever tire 

       A      F 
Facing all my fires 

        C                           G 
I don't need no one but you right now 


So, I say 


C      A              F                C 
Oh, my friend, you're holding out your hand 

  F               C            G  
I take it like an oar from the depth 

C        A          F           C 
Hey, Lifesaver, I'm drowning in despair 

           A               C               F 
But you're fighting for me right until the end. 

                    F                     C 
You pull me back to land and save me once again 


... 


F           C       A 
You help me wash away 

F             C        A 
The insane mistakes I made 

F            C       A 
And I see it in your face 

F       C         A 
My only source of grace 






             



            F        C 
No, I don't take for granted 

        A           F 
All the time you've wasted 

       C                G 
Making sacrifices for a fool 


So, I say 



Refrain 



F           C     
You lift me higher, 

F            C 
You hold the fire, 

F           C                F 
You make me strong enough to stay 

F           C 
You lift me higher, 

F            C 
You hold the fire, 

C             F 
Made up stand tall 

F                   C 
But without you I'd fall 






F           C 
You lift me higher, 

F            C 
You hold the fire, 

C           F      G         C 
You make me strong enough to stay!
