G C Em C

[Verse 1]
     G                             C
You put your lips to nicotine and say it's just the one
         Em                          C
But nicotine don't care about your lungs
       G
You squeeze my hand, you say it's fine
       C
It's only when you're drunk
     Em                               G
I wish I'd let you just do what you want

[Chorus]
     G          F                    Em
But I'm gonna need something to hold on to
                  D#
Something to hold on to
       G         F                    Em
Yeah, I'm gonna need something to hold on to
              D#
Something to hold on to

[Verse 2]
    G
Now I feel bad, I apologize
    C
I must leave you alone
     Em                                 C
You hate to feel like you're being controlled
  G                                C
Sorry if I squeeze too tight, I really hope you know
      Em                             C
The reason I'm so scared to let you go is

[Chorus]
  G       F                   Em
I'm gonna need something to hold on to
                   D#
Something to hold on to
       G        F                   Em
Yeah, I'm gonna need something to hold on to
              D#
Something to hold on to

[Verse 3]
 G                                   C
If you knew the shooting pain that hits me in my chest
         Em                            C
You'd think before you did that to yourself
     G                                 C
And like I do, you picture us, both knowing it's the end
        Em                               C
And wishing that you'd heard me when I said that...

[Chorus]
  G        F                     Em
I'm gonna need something to hold on to
                   D#
Something to hold on to
       G          F
That, I'm gonna need
              Em             D#
Something to hold on to
