Bm                Esus4    E
Living on my own, thinking of myself,
Bm                 Esus4   E
castles in the sand, temporary wealth
Bm                           Esus4
Now the walls are falling down,
                     E
now the storms are closing in
Bm             Dmaj7
And here I am again

Chorus:
                A                                E
Jesus, hold me now, I need to feel You in this place
                      Bm
To know You're by my side, and hear
              Dmaj7
Your voice tonight
                A                       E
Jesus, hold me now, I long for Your embrace
                    Bm                        Dmaj7
I'm beat and broken down, I can't find my way out

               Bm Esus4 E             Bm Esus4 E
Jesus, hold me now,    Jesus, hold me now

Curse this morning sun, drags me into one more day
Of reaping what I’ve sown, living with my shame
Welcome to my world, and the life that I have made
One day you’re a prince,
and the next day you’re a slave

Chorus

               F#m
Jesus, hold me now

F#m                 A
Lord, I just looked up today,
                  E                            D
and realized how far away I am from where You are
                      F#m
And I don't know what else to pray,
                E
broken at Your feet I lay
                    Dmaj7 Bm F#m E
The life I've torn apart

Chorus - x2

Jesus, hold me now - x5
