A#                                          Gm
Fear written on your face like something's wrong here
                              D#
Staring out the window, holding back tears
                                 F
Looking for the people we both know
Where did we go?

Gm  D#     F
Shadows moving
                   Gm          D#    F
There are so many words we're not saying
                   Gm          D#    F
There are so many words we're not saying

Chorus:
                      D#
But this is not the way,
                               A#
it's not the way it's meant to be
                         Gm
And I know right now it hurting
                           F
But just don't give up on me
                     D#
No, this is not the wa y,
                              A#
it's not the way it's meant to be
                        Gm
And I know this ship is burning
                                F
But I won't take you down with me

             Gm                D#
And when you feel like letting go,
                     F
that's when you hold on
          Gm               D#
When you feel like letting go,
                     F
that's when you hold on to me

And you know that "sorry"
Has never been my strength, so please forgive me
But you're not the only one here feeling lonely
Looking for somebody we once knew
There's so much to lose

And the shadows moving
There are so many words we're not saying

Chorus

              Gm               D#
And when you feel like letting go,
                     F
that's when you hold on
          Gm              D#
When you feel like letting go,
                     F
that's when you hold on to me
          D#
When you feel like giving up,
                     F
that's when you hold on to me
Hold on to me

Chorus

When you feel like letting go,
that's when you hold on
When you feel like letting go,
that's when you hold on to me
Hold on to me
