Intro:  F#m D A E

[Verse]
F#m          D
I've seen it and felt it
A            E
Hopelessness with no lifeline
F#m        D
The wicked are feeding
A            E
On innocence and our decline

F#m     D            A
You and I we are the same
     E                  F#m
Torn apart by different things
        D               A
All our faith is barely alive
                   E                   D
But we're going to make it through the night
  F#m         E
I want you to know

[Chorus]
F#m                       D
When the world is on your back
                                  A
And you think that you will never last
                                  E
When you're lonely and you are confused
                     F#m
I'll be right beside you
                           D
When the walls are closing in
                                     A
And you think you'd rather sink than swim
                                               E
When you think there's nothing left for you to lose
                     F#m   D
I'll be right beside you
             A    E
I'll be with you

[Verse]
F#m    D
We are precious
A         E                F#m
More than priceless is our worth
         D
Loved by the Father
A        E                F#m
Heaven's children here on earth

        D            A
You and I we are the same
       E            F#m
Lifted up above the pain
              D            A
By its wounds we have been healed
           E            D
And in our love it is revealed
  F#m         E
I want you to know (I need you to know)

[Chorus]
F#m                       D
When the world is on your back
                                  A
And you think that you will never last
                                  E
When you're lonely and you are confused
                     F#m
I'll be right beside you
                           D
When the walls are closing in
                                     A
And you think you'd rather sink than swim
                                               E
When you think there's nothing left for you to lose
                     F#m
I'll be right beside you

[Bridge]
E    F#m           D         A
Hold on, don't you let go of me
        D               A
I'll be here through it all
E    F#m             D        A
Hold on, when you're ready to fall
       D
I will carry you
       A
I will never leave you
       D               E
I will lift you if you fall

[Chorus]
F#m                       D
When the world is on your back
                                  A
And you think that you will never last
                                  E
When you're lonely and you are confused
                     F#m
I'll be right beside you
                          D
When the walls are closing in
                                     A
And you think you'd rather sink than swim
                                               E
When you think there's nothing left for you to lose
                     F#m  D  A  E
I'll be right beside you

[Outro]
