        C#             Fm
In the latest midnight hour
F#
When the world has gone to sleep
              C# Fm F#
You gotta get up
      C#              Fm
When doubts begin to rise
F#
And the world is at your feet
              A#m Fm F#
You gotta get up

Chorus:
C# Fm F#                       C# Fm F#
Reach,  It's not as bad as it seems
    C#           Fm F#              A#m Fm
I cleanse in the river for somebody else,
F#               C# Fm F#
For anyone but myself

I'm not a selfless man
I'm not a man of wealth
If I had all the world
Probably give it to myself
But the trees begin to walk
And the ground begins to talk
But myself

Chorus

D#m  A#m  C#
Hold my place
 F#            G#
Don't you give up on me
Hold on
Hold on
