Gm          F              A#        D#maj7
You know I never meant to be a burden to you
Gm F             A#        D#maj7
I never want to cause you harm
Gm           F           A#       D#maj7
I know what heavy conversation does to you
Gm        F               A#
I wish I never brought it up at all
D#maj7
But some days I need a rescue

F      A#               D#maj7
Hey you, if you hear me calling
F      A#               D#maj7
Hey you, if you see me falling

Chorus:
           Gm
Will you catch me?
F         A#           D#maj7
Will you hold out your arms and catch me?
          Gm
Will you catch me?
F       A#               D#maj7
Do you think that you’re strong enough?

You always told me that these days would get better
But I'm afraid that you were wrong
'Cause time never stops when you're hurting

Hey you, if you hear me calling (Hey you, calling)
Hey you, if you see me falling (Hey you, falling)

Chorus:
Will you catch me?
Will you hold out your arms and catch me?
(Will you catch me?)
Will you catch me?
Will you hold out your arms and catch me?
(Will you catch me?)
Do you think that you're strong enough?
(Will you hold out your arms and catch me?)
Do you think that you're strong enough?
(Will you hold out your arms and catch me?)

Will you hold out? Will you hold out?

Cm        D#
When the waves come crashing down
Gm      F                       Cm
We can be the ones to pull each other out
Cm        D#
When the waves come crashing down
Gm      F
We can be the ones to pull each other out
 Gm     F A# D#maj7
Catch me

Chorus:
Will you catch me?
Will you hold out your arms and catch me?
(Will you catch me?)
Will you catch me?
Will you hold out your arms and catch me?
(Will you catch me?)
Do you think that you're strong enough?
(Will you hold out your arms and catch me?)

Will you hold out? Will you hold out?
Will you hold out? Will you hold out?
Will you hold out? Will you hold out?
