D#                     Gm F
Miles and miles on my own
D#                        Gm F
Walk with shame, I follow on
D#                           Gm F
A language to find hard to hear
D#
Not to understand, just disappear

Gm            F                   D#
To hold your heart, to hold your hand
Gm            F               D#
Would be to me, the greatest thing
Gm             F               D#
To hold your heart, hold your hand
Gm           F                D#
Would be to me, the bravest thing

Chorus:
Gm         F                 D#
Could you take my place and stand here?
Gm         F                    D#
I do not think you'd take this pain
Gm                  F         D#
You'll be on your knees and struggle under the weight
          Gm               F         D#
Oh, the truth would be a beautiful thing
          Gm        F    A#    D#
Oh, the truth is a beautiful thing

I wear another thought of you
There's so much home I give to you
Hide you somewhere they don't know
Deep in my call you know you have a throne

Hold your heart, hold your hand
Would be to me, the greatest thing
To hold your heart, to hold your hand
Would be to me, the bravest thing

Chorus:
Could you take my place and stand here?
I don't think you'll take this pain
You'll be on your knees and struggle under the weight
Oh the truth would be a beautiful thing
Oh the truth is a beautiful thing
