DO
This world is big and so-awake
SOL DO
I stayed up late to hear your voice
DO
This light is here to keep you warm
SOL
This song is here to keep you strong
{break: F C F G}
I made a list of things to say
But all I really want to say
All I really want to say is
Hold her and keep him strong
While I'm away from here
{break: F C F G}
Hold her and keep her strong
While I'm away from here
Hold her and keep him strong
While I'm away from here
{break: F7 C F7 G}
I've seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold her
I've seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold him
Hold her and keep her strong
While I'm away from here
Hold him and keep him strong
While I'm away from here
