[Intro]
C Em C D C Em Bm
[Verse 1]
(Bm) C Em
I tried to tell you how I feel, but it came out wrong
C D
It wasn’t what I meant, it was much too strong
C Em
But sometimes, baby, I just see red
Bm
I just see red
[Verse 2]
C Em
And before I had a chance to apologize
C D
You went off alone, and I realized
C Em
Tonight I’m gonna face an empty bed
Bm
Hangin’ by a thread
[Chorus]
C D Em
Hangin’ on the hope that you still care
C D Em
The tiny strand of rope is all we share
C D Em
I’m gonna take back the things I said
Bm
Hangin’ by a thread
[Verse 3]
(Bm) C Em
I don’t know what’s goin’ on in your mind
C D
But I know I’m in a race against time
C Em
And all I see is trouble up ahead
Bm
Trouble up ahead
[Verse 4]
C Em
I close my eyes and see a bright razor blade
C D
Cutting through the plan that we made
C Em
A picture of a future in my head
Bm
Hangin’ by a thread
[Chorus]
C D Em
Hangin’ on the hope that you still care

The tiny strand of rope is all we share

I’m gonna take back the things I said

Hangin’ by a thread

Hangin’ on the hope that you still care
