G        D            Em7    Em7
got the call at five p.m.
       G               D
your roomate said you left a note
   Em7                   Em7
saying you could use a friend
      C2          D/F#
so I went to the hospital
         Em7                 Em7
with my heart all choked up tight
    C2                D/F#
and I prayed while I drove,
        Em7            Em7
praying you would be alright

G     D                     Em7  Em7
that morning you called to talk
               G                 D
you talked about how life was a merry go-round,
         Em7          Em7
and you wanted to get off


       C2                D
*but I never thought I^?d see you here,
  Em7               Em7        C2  D
I never thought I^?d hold your hand
         Em7           Em7
in your hour of need
   C2                   D
I always thought you^?d cry for help,
   Em7                       C2    D
I always thought you^?d understand
     Em7            Em7         C2   D
that life is worth fighting for (echo)
      Em7                       C2  D  Em7  Em7
your life is worth fighting for


G         D                 Em7  Em7
so you thought no one understood
           G               D
thought tomorrow would be easier
       Em7            Em7
if we went on without you
        C2            D/F#
but my friend, it^?s a lie,
            Em7          Em7
please hold on, call for help
    C2               D/F#
my friend, it^?s your life,
       Em7         Em7
you^?re not by yourself


G          D                    Em7  Em7
so you^?re living on the razor^?s edge
           G               D
we^?ll I^?ve - been there myself,
          Em7        Em7
holding a gun to my head

if you hold my hand,
        Em7           Em7
can you hold on for a moment longer?
G/B    -   C2
if you know I love you,
G                G
does it make it better?
G/B     -   C2
if you hold my hand,

we can make it together ... (repeat and fade)
