[Verse 1]
D
I got your letter

Bm
and the poetry you sent me

C                              G
postmarked in December of last year

D
I really hope you're doing better

Bm
all your friends close by your side

C                        G      A
one step closer to recovering
[Bridge]
G                D                 A
I wish there was something I could say

    Bm            A       G
to erase each and every page

            D
you've been through

     A
even though it's not my place to save you

G                D
I appreciate but can't accept

     A                     Bm          A         G
this thank you note that's sealed with your last breath

            D               A
and I won't stand aside and listen to you give up
[Chorus]
D
If you'll just hold on for one more second

Bm
Just hold on to what you have

C                                   G
If you'll just hold on. Just hold on.

D
If you'll just hold on for one more second

Bm
Just hold on to what you have

C                                   G     A     D
If you'll just hold on. Just hold on.
[Verse 2]
D
These arms remain stretched out to you

Bm
Maybe someday you'll accept them

C
or maybe it's too late to save

G
a young girl's heart that's long stopped beating

D
Wake up, wake up, you gotta believe

Bm
Wake up, wake up, you can't give up

C
Time keeps going on without us

G                A
long after we're dead and gone
[Bridge]
G                D                 A

you've been through

     A
even though it's not my place to save you

and I won't stand aside and listen to you give up

You will wake up tomorrow
