Capo 3
C Am
Hold on to love
Em
That is what I do
G
Now that I've found you
C Am
And from above
Em
Everything's stinking
G
They're not around you
C
And in the night
Am
I could be helpless
Em G
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
C Am
And in the day, everything's complex
Em G
There's nothing simple when I'm not around you
[Refrão] C Am
But I miss you when you're gone
Em F
That is what I do
Hey baby
C Am
It's hard to carry o-onn
Em F
That is what I knew
Hey baby...
C Am
Hold on to my hands
Em
I feel I'm sinking
G
Sinking without you
C Am
And to my mind
Em
Everything's stinking
G
Stinking without you
C Am
And in the night I could be helpless
Em G
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
C Am
And in the day, everything's complex
Em
There's nothing simple
G
When I'm not around you
