Verse 1

            G
Why are you striving these days
            Em
Why are you trying to earn grace
            D
Why are you crying
                    C
Let me lift up your face
                  G
Just don't turn away

            G
Why are you looking for love
                  Em
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
                  D
To where will you go child
                       C
Tell me where will you run
                   G
To where will you run

Chorus

            Em
And I'll be by your side
    C
Wherever you fall
       G
In the dead of night
     D   
Whenever you call
    Em      
And please don't fight
      C                      G
These hands that are holding you
D                    G
My hands are holding you

Verse 2

Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life

(Chorus 2x)

Bridge

      D        Em
Cause I, I love you
      C        D  
I want you to know
     D        Em
That I, I love you
      C            D
I'll never let you go

(Chorus 2x)
