[Verse]
Am F
Oh my love, we've gotta save ourselves
Am
If we wanna save the world
Don't give in to your hate when you
F
Know you can change.
Am
It's hitting home and it feels so strange.
G
I wanna say those words but it's not that easy.
Em C
I smile but it doesn't make things right.
F
And it's hard when it's hurting all the time.
G
But I can't leave this thing behind.
[Chorus]
C
You've gotta trust me and hold on.
Am G
We've gotta slow down baby.
F C
'Cause we are still young but we are getting older.
F C
Our hearts are still warm, but they are getting colder.
Am F C
And this life is getting the best of me.
Em Am
And I'm down on my knees.
F Am
Oh please, baby hold on.

Talk to me, when your low.

Confide in me, I promise I won't tell a soul.
G
And we can turn this corner, no it's not that easy.

But we're fools not to give it a try.

And it's hard when it's hurting all the time.

But I can't leave this thing behind.
