Tone: [Eb]
Verse 1:
[Eb]Oh
Little [Gm]love
Hold me [Abmaj7]down
I've had e[Bb6]enough
[Eb]Oh
Falling fast and screaming [Gm]loud
I'm finding ways to drown it [Abmaj7]out
And hoping you can hold me d[B6]down
People ch[Eb]change
Start falling in and out of [Gm]pairs
For now it all just really [Abmaj7]hurts
And I need you to h[Bb]hold my hand
Verse 2:
[Eb]Oh
Little [Gm]love
I'm lost and might be never [Abmaj7]found
I'm hoping you can hold me d[Bb6]down
[Eb]Gone
a fallen face among the [Gm]crowd
I'm losing at the speed of [Abmaj7]sound
And hoping you can hold me [Bb]down
All the [Eb]same
I'm a broken ship without a [Gm]sail
And nothing really seems to [Abmaj7]work
So I need you to h[Bb]hold [Bb7]me like w[Bb6]when
Chorus:
Cmin7
We
Went walking through [Abmaj7]backyards
Asking what is in st[Eb]store for us
Just looking ar[Bb]around
Cmin7
Cause right there
I was a[Abmaj7]above it all
My back up a[Eb]against a wall
My lips on your b[Bb]brow
Oh baby you can hold me d[Eb]down
Verse 3:
[Eb]Oh
Little [Gm]love
I'm searching for a plot of [Abmaj7]ground
I know that you can calm me d[Bb6]down
Broken [Eb]boy
Yet to find a way a[Gm]around
a dark and ever-growing [Abmaj7]cloud
That has him always looking [Bb6]down
Her voice is like a morning [Eb]sun
Her touch is like a burning [Gm]flare
The hope that
hides inside the [Abmaj7]cloud
Returns to me when she is [Bb6]there
I was [Ab]climbing up [Eb]out of a [Abmaj7]well
While [Ab]we were
Verse 4:
Getting l[Eb]lost in the pi[Gm]pillows
Feeling [Abmaj7]fine and then getting s[Bb6]sicker
There you [Eb]were
But where was [Gm]I
Just hold me [Abmaj7]close baby hold me [Bb6]high
Finding [Eb]warmth
Beneath the [Gm]covers
When I had [Abmaj7]nothing we
still had each [Bb6]other
We were a[Eb]alone
Outside of [Gm]time
So hold me [Abmaj7]close while I [Bb6]start to climb
Verse 5:
[Eb]Hand over [Gm]hand
Over [Abmaj7]hand
Over [Bb6]hand
Over [Eb]hand -x8-
Over hand -x2- no music played:
Outro:
[Eb] My little l[Gm]love
I wanna l[Abmaj7]leave
Turn out the li[Bb6]lights
And be at e[Eb]ease
I feel I l[Gm]live
Along the b[Abmaj7]brim
Of giving [Bb6]up
And giving [Eb]in
So hear me [Gm]now
Without [Abmaj7]mistake
In case I [Bb6]falter and I [Eb]break
Without a [Gm]doubt
Let me be cl[Ab]clear
You are the r[Bb7]reason
I'm still h[Eb]here
