 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.

 Verse 
 
           Am       F    
 Keep your head, up high.
                                           Am  
 Reach for me, I can't pretend when it's a lie.
                       F   
 Talk to me, when your low.
                                         Am   
 Confide in me, I promise I won't tell a soul.
            G                                       
 And we can turn this corner, no it's not that easy.
           Em                     C   
 But we're fools not to give it a try.
          F                                   
 And it's hard when it's hurting all the time.
                              G      
 But I can't leave this thing behind.
 
 Chorus

 We've gotta slow down baby.
                     F                        C     
 'Cause we are still young but we are getting older.

 And I'm down on my knees.
    F       G         Bb 
 Oh please, baby hold on.

        C                      
 When I see the stars above me.
               Am                     
 Shining their lights down on my face.
   F                                 G       
 I feel you, and now I know what I'm missing.
 
 Chorus 
 
 C                                   
 Hold on, we've gotta slow down baby.
                     F                        C     
 'Cause we are still young but we are getting older.
                      F                          C

          Am                  F       C  
 And this life is getting the best of me.
          Em                Am   
 And it's got me down on my knees
      F                 C  
 Hey! please, baby hold on.
