[Intro] D G D G D A [Verse 1]
               D                        G           D
I've come here nine times asking you do not make it ten

            G      D                  A
I'm peeling off all the armor that protected my skin

     D                        G      D
Apologize, I'm laying down my ego to rest

             G       D             A
Could you be mine for-ever just in case it exists?
[Chorus 1]
                  D
I think about the old days

                G             D
What we've been through to survive

          G           D
Do we get better with time?

             A
Tell me I'm wrong
[Verse 2]
        D                         G            D
Looking back to the start, who we were when we met

            G              D               A
This box of pictures tells a story when we fight, we forget

          D                              G         D
And I can barely recognize us, back then we were obsessed

       G       D                    A
Can we cut out this madness and get back to the best?
[Chorus 2]
                  D
I think about the old days

                G             D
What we've been through to survive

          G           D
Do we get better with time?

             A
Tell me I'm wrong

                   D
I'm looking to you always

              G            D
We follow the same guiding light

             G            D
Passing like ships in the night

            A
Can we hang on?
[Post-Chorus]
            Bm
Can we hang on?

            G   D
Can we hang on?

            G   D
Can we hang on?

            A
Can we hang on?
[Bridge]
D
  This could've gone either way if

G               D
  One of us had walked

   G            D                 A
If I'd gone off, and you caved in, and we broke it off

            D
I'd be lost, I'd be chasing some broke down dream

G               D
I'd be bored to death

    G              D                 A                
But we cannot stay forever young and out of our heads, out of our heads
[Chorus 3]
                   D
I'll think about tomorrow

         G             D
If I can get through tonight

            G          D
I know that we'll be alright

           A
Can we be strong?

                   D
I'm looking to you always

                       G            D
Even though we're like ships in the night

             G          D
Don't you go passing me by

            A
Can we hang on?
[Post-Chorus]
            Bm
Can we hang on?

            G   D
Can we hang on?

            G   D
Can we hang on?

            A
Can we hang on?
[Outro]
        D
You can find it

          G        D
If you're dying to live

           G        D                 A
If you want to know the secret, hang on

        Bm
You can find it

          G        D
If you're dying to live

           G        D                 A
If you want to know the secret, hang on

        D
You can find it

          G        D
If you're dying to live

           G        D                 A  D
If you want to know the secret, hang on
