Hold Me Close

G                          C 
There's this feeling in my chest, 
C            D 
That travels straight down through my fingers, 
G                       C            D 
And if I feel it then I know I'm not alright. 
G                    C 
And I try my best to control it, 
            D                   Em 
But it only makes it worse if I notice, 
          G               C               D 
And all I know is I can't sleep like this tonight. 


 
            G                D 
I know it's late. I know I'm tired. 
        Em             C 
Anxious thoughts in my mind, 
             G 
Keep running over. 
              D                 Em 
I know you're there. I know you know. 
           C 
So pull me in and, 
        G  C  Em  D 
Hold me close. 
        G  C  Em  D 
Hold me close. 



          G                  C 
And in my head it's like I'm certain, 
                D                 Em 
That trouble is always behind the curtain, 
          G               C                    D 
So I just stay up on high alert and don't look down. 
      G              C 
And I try my best to ignore it, 
               D                     Em 
But pushing it down only means I get more, 
             G                       C 
Of this deep unrest, this feeling in my chest, 
             D 
That travels straight down through my fingers. 



            G                D 
I know it's late. I know I'm tired. 
        Em             C 
Anxious thoughts in my mind, 
             G 
Keep running over. 
              D                 Em 
I know you're there. I know you know. 
           C 
So pull me in and, 
        G  C  Em  D 
Hold me close. 
        G  C  Em  D 
Hold me close. 



          G D 
On the surface, 
             G C 
Trying to be found. 
           G D 
Underneath I'm, 
            G    C 
Working overtime. 
     G D 
Do I ever, 
                G   C 
Need some solid ground. 
            G D 
Heaven help me, 
     G 
Calm down. 
C  D 
Down. 
     G 
Calm down. 
C 
Down. 



            G                D 
I know it's late. I know I'm tired. 
        Em             C 
Anxious thoughts in my mind, 
             G 
Keep running over. 
              D                 Em 
I know you're there. I know you know. 
           C 
So pull me in and, 
        G  C  Em  D 
Hold me close. 
        G  C  Em  D 
Hold me close. 
        G  C  Em  D 
Hold me close. 
        G  C  Em  D 
Hold me close.
