     E
Hold on
B            C#m7 A
I'll be home soon
           E
'Cause I know
B               C#m7               A
There's nothing more that you can do
E                                B
When suddenly, it all fades to black
                        C#m7
Suddenly, it all goes away
C#m7
Suddenly, you're on your own
       A                      E
And struggling to breathe again
                          B
I know it isn't easy for you
                               C#m7
Knowing there's a war in your head
C#m7
Knowing that your body isn't
   A                        E
Strong enough to reach for help

Chorus:
                     B
But in your darkest hour
                      A
I will the light the way
                 A
I will help you cope
                     C#m
Through the hardest days
                    B
When it all breaks down
                 A
I will keep you safe
                 A
In your darkest hour
                  A
I will light the way

        E
So hold on
B                       C#m A
With all that you have left
        E                B
We can take it step by step
              C#m       A
Just do your best, acquiesce
E                                 F#m7
'Cause everybody looks just like you
                                C#m
But they can never know how it feels
                                A
They can never know of all the suffering
                E
That you conceal
                        F#m7
How did it end up this way?
                       E/G#
How much more can you take?
E/G#
Will you ever find the strength
    A                         E
To get back on your feet again?

Chorus - x2

        E
So hold on
B                C#m
In your darkest hour
                 A
In your darkest hour
          C#m
Just hold on
B    A
Hold on

Chorus
