A#         F  Cm
You heard my voice
        Gm         F        D#
I came out of the woods by choice
A#            F       Cm
Shelter also gave us shade
            Gm     F      A#
But in the dark I have no name

A#                   F    Cm
So leave that click in my head
              Gm         F             D#
And I will remember the words that you said
A#                          F    Cm
Left a clouded mind and a heavy heart
           Gm            F         D#
But I was sure we could see a new start

Chorus:
Gm F          A#       D#
So when your hopes on fire
Gm F         A#      D#
But you know your desire
              Gm             F
Don't hold a glass over the flame
                A#        D#
Don't let your heart grow cold
       Gm           F
I will call you by name
        A#         D#
I will share your road

Gm
Hold me fast, hold me fast
            D#   Gm   F   Gm
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer
            Gm
Hold me fast, hold me fast
            D#   Gm   F   A#
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer

I wrestled long with my youth
We tried so hard to live in the truth
But do not tell me all is fine
When I lose my head, I lose my spine

So leave that click in my head
And I won't remember the words that you said
You brought me out from the cold
Now, how I long, how I long to grow old

Chorus:
So when your hope's on fire
But you know your desire
Don't hold a glass over the flame
Don't let your heart grow cold
I will call you by name
I will share your road

But hold me fast, hold me fast
'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer
And hold me fast, hold me fast
'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer
And I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under
And I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under
The skies I'm under
