[Intro] Am C F Dm Am C F Dm G Am [Verse 1]
                       Am
What if we changed our names and dyed our hair?

          C
Wore dark glasses everywhere?

            Dm
Yeah, would anybody notice?

         F
Would anybody even care?

             Am
If they woke up to empty beds

         C
Unlocked doors and windows cracked

          Dm
Would the letter left behind read

        F             G
"Please do not try to find me"?
[Pre-Chorus]
           F
I'm at the end

           Dm
And so are you

           F
I can't pretend (I can't pretend)

        G
I never could
[Chorus]
            Am                              C
When we are barеly holding on, we hold each other

           F                                Dm
Whеn every road is blocked, we find another way

      Am                                  C
Every branch we break will grow back even stronger (Stronger)

        F                           Dm    G
And the mark we make will never be erased
Am [Verse 2] Am I never saw it coming
               C
The blind left turn, a sucker-punch

               Dm
And she said, "Stay down"

  F
I nodded like I understood

             Am
But then got up and started running

        C
Right into the fight, not from it

        Dm                       G     F
I can't stay down, this fight is all I know

                Dm            G
These scars are all I have to show
[Chorus]
            Am                              C
When we are barеly holding on, we hold each other

           F                                Dm
Whеn every road is blocked, we find another way

      Am                                  C
Every branch we break will grow back even stronger (Stronger)

        F                           Dm    G
And the mark we make will never be erased
Am F Am Dm Am Am Dm G [Bridge]
                   Am        G     C             F
When you're in the dirt face down, I will be the answer

     Am          G     C            Dm
When you cry out loud, asking me to stay

         Am         G     C                  F
When the rest leave town, fuck 'em, we don't need 'em

       Dm                G
I will be there when you say
[Pre-Chorus]
           F
I'm at the end

           Dm
And so are you

           F
I can't pretend (I can't pretend)

        G
I never could
[Chorus]
            Am                              C
When we are barеly holding on, we hold each other

           F                                Dm
Whеn every road is blocked, we find another way

      Am                                  C
Every branch we break will grow back even stronger (Stronger)

        F                           Dm
And the mark we make will never be erased
[Outro]
            G                  Am
And I'll be there when you are barely holding on

             C
When you are barely holding on

             F
When you are barely holding on

     Dm
Hold me

             Am
When you are barely holding on

             C
When you are barely holding on

             F
When you are barely holding on

     Dm G Am
Hold me
