Am          G           Fmaj7
  She was holdin' on so tight
    Am                G         Fmaj7
But why do we still have to say goodbye?
Am         G       Fmaj7
  She's all alone tonight
        Am            G         Fmaj7
There's nothin' I can do to make it right


[Pre-Chorus]
      Am             C             G     Fmaj7
Is it ever gonna be, ever gonna be brigh-ter?
      Am             C             G  Fmaj7
Is it ever gonna be, ever gonna be ea-sier?


[Chorus]
F    G     Am
Hold her tonight
          C        F    G      Am
Oh, God, would you hold her tonight?
                C       F           G           Am      C
'Cause I'm not there to stay close, keep watch, tell her she's not alone
F    G     Am
Hold her tonight


[Verse 2]
Am          G           Fmaj7
 We're apart but not alone
Am                 G                  Fmaj7
My love for her is more than she could know
Am          G                Fmaj7
  A secret place only we can go
           Am                 G                Fmaj7
And we'll laugh while we will hope until we're home


[Pre-Chorus]
      Am             C             G     Fmaj7
Is it ever gonna be, ever gonna be brighter?
      Am             C             G  Fmaj7
Is it ever gonna be, ever gonna be easier?


[Chorus]
F    G     Am
Hold her tonight
          C        F    G      Am
Oh, God, would you hold her tonight?
                C       F           G           Am      C
'Cause I'm not there to stay close, keep watch, tell her she's not alone
F    G     Am
Hold her tonight

Stay close, keep watch, tell her she's not alone

Hold her tonight---
